I am old and rusty?

Question

I have noticed that there is a lot of people that have many different reactions to things.

Some people die of the slightest problems.

Other can go on and on and on and on, but they have every single medical insult imaginable.

I am like this (so far).

I feel like one of them rusty car that keeps going.

I have tollerated all kinds of problems from here to kingdom come and I am still alive (so far).

I have been pioson, have had heart problems, heat stroke, electric shocks, physical abuse, accidents, faintings many times, hallucinations, no water for more than 3 days and so on, on and on and on.

I say (so far) just incase I die and get proven wrong.

Why does this difference happen to people?

Answer 1

Well Snow Man, there really isn't a good answer to your question.  As a biologist I would say that it is because diversity makes it certain that no matter what happens the race of man will survive.  But I have been around long enough to know that even physically weak people can survive hard times if they try hard enough.  So, I still believe in biology but at the same time I think there is more to the story than just survival.  So, maybe there are just some things that we can never really understand.
