The world's tallest man, Sultan Kosen, meets the shortest man in the world, He Pingping!

I wonder what was going through their minds when they met. To meet someone who is the complete opposite of you (at least physically), who experiences and views life from a completely different perspective... If I were them would I have felt envious that the other had what I lacked? Relieved that I wasn't the other man? Empathetic because the other also understands the predicaments of existing at the extreme end of a particular spectrum?

What do you guys think? It must've been a hell of an interesting experience to meet the very antithesis of oneself.

I think they would have more in common than they would not in common. That is of being so different from the average human being, having to overcome weird obstacles most people never face.

Pretty superficial to think of them as antitheses.

Anybody know the heights of these two? really a remarkable difference ... obviously i wouldnt wanna be either of them but i think id rather be the short one
What you need to do is be thankful for the life you got, you know what im sayin? ... stop lookin at what you ain't got ... start bein thankful for what you do got.

I would think that your perspective is proportional to the heights, not just based on the additive difference, seeing as I think for most people, you use your own body as the scale for relative measurement.

So the analogous experience for the regular guy would be meeting someone about 20 feet tall, rofl.
