> His calm live and routines granted him a superior lifespan.

My mean, spiteful and horrendous grandmother in law was nothing but pure bile and hatred. Every day she lived her life in perpetual outrage and never had a moment's peace.

She lived to 96.

She probably outsourced the hate and outrage to those around her, inwards she was 100% peace.

Yep. My wife's grandma is probably the most evil human being I've ever met in person, and she's very healthy now at 88.

Those two things are correlated, in fact. I can't get the citation now, but it's in the literature.

Those people may actually be able to offload stress, anxiety and worries...

I fear most evil folks sleep well at night.

That's my theory too. Mean people cause stress to others and send them to early graves. They themselves live free of illness causing stresses.

Karma is something people invented for some temporary solace.
