It pays to be good the study says.  Interesting.


One breakthrough finding was that conscientious children and conscientious adults stay healthier and live significantly longer. This discovery has now been widely replicated by other scientists and is a focus of current research worldwide.

Taking drugs and being promiscious is asking for a quick death.

You know that can be argued. Because being morally correct and selfless can also kill you faster because you're always helping those who don't give a rats a$$ about you. So when you're morally give to others because you believe "morally" that's the right thing to do and they take advantage of you, "What happens then?" Where's your broke a$$ now?

Being moral and being stupid are two separate issues.
