I chose this quote from my dad's previous post about Aesop's Fables. I was reading through them, and while I loved a lot of them... I just wasn't inspired to write about them. Truth be told, it's taken me some time to get inspired to write this, too, but I chose this quote because of how literally I took it. I took the term 'little' as height, and you know what? That may not be what the quote is implying, but that's how my mind took it so I'm going to roll with it.
Plain and simple, I completely agree with this quote. Little people DO make great friends. In fact, some of the nicest people I've met are short. One of my best friends is only 5"2, and another is only 4"11. Both I could trust with my life and they've supported me and helped me through a lot. I'm not going to carry on about how small people are the best things out, however. I don't speak for all people when I say that we tend to be very nice and understanding. Some people are just plain mean, regardless of size. However, I'd like to state that no one should be judged off of their size. Never judge someone for their appearance; at least not to the degree where it'll determine your opinion of them. Personality should decide what you think of someone, not how they look. I've had friends be turned down in the realm of dating because of their height/weight, and honestly it's depressing. I hate that appearance matters so much to some people, to the point where they let it decide who's good enough for them or not. At this rate, you may be thinking that these people don't have dates because of their personality, or because of how they treated the other person- and I can tell you, that's not the case. The person they tried to ask out came right out and told them they wouldn't date them for no other reason than their height/weight. That's disgusting. I don't think you can get any more shallow. I used to have a friend who wouldn't date a guy unless they met her physical standards- how you judge others says a lot about your personality, let me tell you. She and I are no longer friends; for reasons closely related to her being shallow and conceited. It all ties together. That's enough rambling for today, I think... I don't know, I just wanted to let that out. - maddie
