It is so sad, yet so true, that "giving up because of a death proclamation would only make you die sooner." The belief in the myth causes the myth to become true. What sometimes happens, though, is that people with a family history of early heart attacks, for example, work very hard to avoid heart disease. I have one friend who is very dedicated to diet and exercise to prevent his father's fate. It's a shame that so few people do that. Justin, Thank you for your comment.

If one parent has a temper it is likely that the children will also learn that temper. While it is true in these cases children can always choose to go the opposite direction it is still better to lead an example worth following. Even if genes were the cause of all fatal diseases, giving up because of a death proclamation would only make you die sooner. Take care of yourself, and no matter your genetics do your part to bring the best results. Even when you don't know why always act on hope. Hope makes victory possible in the bleakest times.
