STATE OF MIND<br />
3: Centenarians Avoid Anger and Drama<br />
“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent <strong>of</strong><br />
throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” --<br />
Buddha<br />
I don’t think the Bolder Media Group will ever produce a Big Brother<br />
type reality show in which centenarians are thrown together into a<br />
single house. By reality show standards it would be a bomb because<br />
there would be very little conflict or drama. Centenarians have gotten<br />
very good at avoiding both. From our experiences and observations,<br />
there is no rage in extreme old age. When asked what makes them<br />
angry, centenarians always have the exact same answer -- nothing.<br />
The latest medical research confirms that anger isn't just a negative<br />
emotion, it’s a disease generator that can lead to high blood<br />
pressure, heart disease and other life-threatening illnesses.<br />
