interesting, in the torah, Jews are specifically instructed that the commandment “honor your father and mother” leads to the blessing of long life, specifically detailed in exodus and deuteronomy. the payback you get is you get to live a long time…I guess even that more pimitive tribal society had such nutty parents that they had to up the ante and put something in it for the kiddos…a long life as a reward…the wother commandments i don’t think come with specific bonus es.
im feeling like my Dad, a guy who dies quick of a heart attack, so less concerned. for me. more concerned for my wife, sicne genetically, she is likely to become a 90 year old woman.
