Size Does Matter

Size matters only to human beings. I wonder if size matters to animals. Same species of animals look alike such as lions, tigers, zebras, and giraffe, also birds and other creatures. But trees and plants are different in size and shape. We, human beings look different because we wear clothes. Otherwise, there will not be much difference. It is clothes that make us different. In this electronic age there are human beings who still live in Stone Age. Some tribes go about naked. They have no problem to live being naked. They don’t feel naked and don’t want to evolve. They are the real humans. OSHO Rajneesh might have advised his disciples to go about naked to understand the real human beings. Modern human beings are artificial in every way.

We cannot change the way we have been created by the Nature. Today’s generation struggles to change the appearance to look good. They have to increase of decrease weight, even height by exercise. Animals don’t do such stupidity. You cannot make a hippo slim or muscular by putting it on exercise. Hippos are born to be plump. Daily routine is enough exercise. It is better to accept the things in its way. Every human being is different in nature and stature. Comparing with each other doesn’t make sense. If we were alike in appearance like animals it would be difficult for us to identify each other also be boring.

Often well-built people get more respect. Small built will get a pat or clout according to their nature. People will treat them like children. Kamasutra author Vatsayana has divided human beings into four types—small-built, moderately-built, medium-built and big-built. Small-built people usually have more brain power. They are not fit for hard work. They can use their brains. Well-built people are meant to use their brawns. In this way all human beings will be useful to each other. Be big or small we are dependant to each other in one way or the other.

In Easop’s fables the lion scoffed at the rat for it being small. But the rat showed the lion what a tiny creature can do by rescuing the lion from the hunter’s net. The lion became small before the rat. There are many such stories that ridding of superiority.
