Short

As my last post elucidates, the last book I read didn't have much in terms of sense, or content. However, one thing he said did stand out. Beware, and be very afraid of short people.

I am, as is usually and frequently pointed out to me, a short person. At Five foot Seven I don't exactly tower over anyone, except the occasional runt. That's also not a good feeling because not too long ago I was a runt, and only recently graduated to the slightly better off level of being short.

As a short person, you must constantly fight adversity, and if you are even the slightest bit driven, attempt with all your little might to overcome this physical downside with whatever you can. Some try to become damn intelligent, and thus you have the short-smart-fellow stereotype. Others learn deadly marshal arts, these are usually chinese short people. Don't mess with them. Others become computer geeks, don't mess with them either these days, they're usually more dangerous than the Chinese Martial Artists. Basically, us shorties must push ourselves as hard as we can, to prove ourselves in a towering world. It's survival of the fittest, really.
So next time you're nasty to the vertically challenged, be afraid. They're probably plotting and hard at work at vengance of some kind or the other. Think Napoleon. Think Ram Jethmalani. Think Sachin Tendulkar. There are enough Little Master's out there.
