Short people generally have a more optimistic outlook on life. This is on account of the rain hitting us last and other such perks of natural selection like: never having to complain about leg room on flights and the ability to fit an entire load of laundry on a single clothes dryer. Take that, long bodies!
We’re also highly trained athletes. Smaller legs = shorter strides. We’ve been playing catch up our entire lives and therefore are in extremely good health. We’ll probably outlive all of you, much like a small robust terrier.
Getting by in this life as a shorty involves tackling a range of adversities on the daily. Unless you’re small person you wouldn’t have any idea just how evolved you have to be to survive. For example, not being able to reach stuff can lead to horrible illnesses such as: the wrong type of coffee and scurvy. These struggles are just the tip of the iceberg.
