Longevity should be viewed as a product of the efforts of people to reach their full potential. To say that living as long as people can is the result of them giving their physical bodies the maximum care is tantamount to considering a person as a mere physical specimen. A person has not just a body but a mind and a spirit. In psychology, an individual is considered a physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual being. I believe that only when people can strike a perfect harmony among these different aspects of being can they hope to have a shot at longevity. How long do you want (or expect) to live?
