I am still not sure why faking another account on here is tolerated by even the worst of trolls. Even for THIS PLACE, it is sad.

I would say yes, but that is based on the concept of... It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep. As to this exchange, The brightest flame burns out the fastest. “It’s better to burn out ‘cause rust never sleeps.” Neil Young. I retort... Well, I hope Neil Young will remember

My next door neighbor died of a heart attack at 66. I saw him outside probably 10 times in the 12 years we lived next to each other. And 5 of those he was getting the mail. He watched TV or sat on his tablet almost every waking second. He was retired for 10 months. He was a jerkass but in his widow's mind, he was born with wings and a halo. He went to the store once a week, never went out for supper, never left town. He had the definitive boring life.

Boring people tend to be content and low stress. Stress is a killer in many ways.

My father had a joke:
Guy goes to the doctor.
Doctor says,"You must quit drinking and chasing women."
Patient, "Will I live longer?"
Doctor, "No, but it will seem like it."

I do know that tugboat captains on the Columbia River said
Boring is highly underrated.
One does not like excitement with four 4000 ton barges of wheat in front of a 110' tug, while going into a lock with only 2' clearance on a side.
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek

Sam, if your thesis is correct, I'll outlive my body's ability to allow me to do what I want. I'm able as boring as they come.

There’s never a time you feel more alive than staring down death
But damn if it doesn’t take years offa you

Boring people might live longer, but are they really, truly alive? What's the point?

A lot depends on body type and hereditary factors, plus some luck.

Most of the boring people I know may appear to live longer, to those around them, only because there was little no difference between when they were living and when they were dead.
