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
