Do jerks live longer because they are more stress free than nice people?

Asked by Pandora (32212points) November 12th, 2010

We’ve all heard the phrase, ” Only The Good Die Young”, and there is some truth it seems to some of it.
So it got me wondering. Is it because the A-holes of the world got it right? They don’t let other people stress them out, and so they are less likely to get illnesses from stress?
Or do you think it actually is more stressful to be a jerk than to be a nice person always looking to please others?
Or does stress play little to no role and illnesses are just random or genetics?
