Default A rant about feelings...

Why do some people complain about wanting to 'be taller'??

Some people try to hide their baldness!!

Why??

Is there ANY procedure which can MAKE you taller?! Or grow hair back?? Shit is there!!

Why NOT simply accept that as a part of who you are!! You have NO CHOICE to do so, since there's nothing you CAN do to alter it!!!

Human nature, you are human, right? Well humans want things even when it's not going to happen. They want to be desired, wanted and will want to change to achieve this, it's a good thing.

There is never an instance where you HAVE to do ANYTHING and you just saying that they have to is totally meaningless.

of course. However, some people have to crane their neck to be able to see the face of the one they're talking to because of their short stature. i don't experience this too often myself being 5'10"; but i know my mother and relatives don't enjoy it one bit. So, they express their wish that they were just a bit taller, i brush it off as just a throw-away comment <like they would if i were to say "i wish i had green eyes">, and life moves on. It's certainly nothing worth wasting capital letters and inordinate amounts of exclamation marks over.

A good case for being dispassionate. It frees you to do other constructive things.

If you want to make a spectacle of yourself, get three. Btw here's an extreme example of cosmetic surgery. http://www.cindyjackson.com/my_surgery.html
