Tall people love to point out their height to short people.

Do you get tired of hearing the same old “you are short” ridiculing jargon decade upon decade? Why is a person’s shorter height important to people who are taller that they must point it out?

Tall people accusing short people of height, do not seem to understand everyone cannot be tall. So, if you are tall, be grateful for what you got.

“I don’t want to be taller; I want to be myself.” ~ Halima Aden

You can choose to be satisfied with your height. Go on now, mind your business. You are taller than a short person. So, do you want a cookie?

Tall does not mean better. Short is not a dreadful thing, it is simply different than tall. Ideal heights were thought out by men. Man set the standards for ideal height; man is flawed in his judgments. The Creator originally made man. If you have a problem with short people, you might want to get over it.

Important people throughout history, in every industry, and in every country, some have been shorter than you, tall people. The world may be better because they lived. Every important person surely cannot all be tall. It is no more advantageous to be tall any more than disadvantageous to be short.
