Why height matters

Being short, put simply, is the easiest thing in
the world to be; it's not your fault for being
short, so you don't have to take credit for your
genetic defect, and subsequently your parents
are to blame. The disadvantage of the position,
however, comes with how you are gradually
expected "to do more," "to find your identity as
it relates to the world" and you are increasingly
thought of as less than a person by today's
standards of having to be something else;
although, the world requires this of every person,
eventually you are left "undercut." This is not
deliberate as it is implicit as a result of belief in
the systems of meanings and values that the
handful of local citizens have learned to give-in
to and cope with themselves.
