One of the conditions of recovery is the will to recover - Seneca
In boyhood days when a kid gets ill the parents hedge him with overcare. Their paternal instinct seems to get involved with a double might – together with bitter medicines a child will get additional caresses and gifts. This natural reaction of the parents sometimes plays with us a bad joke – firstly, the kids short-receiving attention from the parents will begin to get ill more often, in order to feel the vacuum, secondly, in adult age each illness acquire somehow a sweet taste – others, willing or not, pay us more attention.
From here there emerge wives with everlasting complaints, old women, calling a medical car, in order just to speak with the doctors, revelations of casual fellow-travelers about their failures with women. Such people, partially, merely do not want to recover in order not to lose those bits of attention which they are begging from others, reciting of their diseases.
But this polite listening is only a shabby image of a real interest to the partner of conversation! Is it possible to compare a compassionately-preoccupied look of the wife after a failure of her husband in bed with her enthusiastic glance after an impassionate night with him? Meanwhile these two states divides but a small Viagra tablet, taken by a man who wants to be healthy, but not pitiful.
Not be afraid to part with you diseases and be a really interesting person for others.
LONGEVITY SCIENCE: SO MUCH FOR THE "WEAKER" SEX
One thing is for sure, most 100-year-olds are going to be women. Numbers don't lie. Women are no longer the weaker sex. Au contraire. Men are dropping like fruit flies and women are just going on and on and on. Why is that?
For most of history women have had an equal or shorter life expectancy than men. Why? Kids, that's why. Kids could—-and did—kill you. Having them was life threatening (the more things change the more they stay the same—isn't that the truth?). But over centuries of evolution women adapted. We got tougher, stronger, more resilient. We had to. Did you think cavemen were actually going to stay in the cave all day and raise the kids? Not a chance. Over time, nature gave women a slight edge.
The rest was your basic clean hands. Once doctors started to wash their hands, more and more women survived actual childbirth without the risk of postnatal infection.
Today the rate of death for women remains close to one-half that for men. Studies show women start life in better shape than their baby brothers and by age thirty-five are twice as healthy as their spouses. We begin to lose some of that advantage as we get older. So let's not pat ourselves on the back just yet, ladies, and let's not celebrate our potential longevity with another biscuit—or three.
