Cynicism and Mistrust Tied to Early Death

The psychiatrist Dr. RedfordB. Williams believes that people who are angry and cynical are five times as likely to die under the age of 50 as people who are calm and trusting. The result is different from many researches which claim that people who work too hard and always in hurry are more likely to suffer heart attack than those relaxed man. His theory is based on the experiment in the 25-years research of 118 lawyers. Those who received high scores on hostility traits were five times as like to die before 50 as classmates who were not hostile.

Moreover, the weakness of nervous system and the level of adrenaline make people lose their temper easily, and even express their rage in action in the daily life.
Therefore, hostile people cannot calm down their anger as soon as nonhostile people do. In addition, the extremely bad mood will lead to high blood pressure which damages the heart and blood vessels. So William claims that trusting people will live longer than cynics.
