Being adaptable is one of the most important qualities for longevity in a human being on earth

You don't know really what is going to happen next.

you may or may not be able to marry your childhood sweetheart.

The love of your life might die or you might die at any given point.

So, being adaptable both mentally and physically might be the single most important 

quality for longevity in a human being on earth.

Adaptability

Is

necessary

for 

Survival

So, even though your first response to some changes in your life might be "WTF?" 

Or "What's going on here?" the next decisions you make might decide whether you survive or die.

And often these immediate decisions affect whether those around you survive or die too.

So, the capacity for adaptibility is often the difference between life and death

or sanity or insanity.

Life flows like a river through us and by us all the time. When the river hits and obstacle you have to not let it turn your boat over. OR if it turns your boat over you need to have a life vest on so you can float down the river until you can swim to shore for awhile before you ride the river to the ocean during your life.

Adaptibility is often the difference in a long life between life and death at each and every  point.
