Really now people, don't you realize that height is just a state of mind?
Why limit yourself to the word "short". The psychological implications
are enormous and not really necessary to get into.
It's all relative, and it's just a belief. It's pointless to compare
yourself to others, and everytime you see someone else taller or see
yourself shorter, you are comparing.
Above all else, it doesn't really matter. Once you change your mind about
it you will see what I mean. Whenever you feel angry about being "short",
take a deep breath and say to yourself:"I am as tall as I am" and feel
what that means.
I love you all!
Michael
