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.

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.

I wouldn't want to be either one. Not simply because they stand out so much, but medical conditions come with such things.

Being that huge puts a lot of stress on your heart and you will most likely die at a much younger age than people of average height.

I don't know off-hand any side effects of being small, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were numerous.


I guess more on topic:

Small guy: Let's see how tall we are if we combine!
Big: Go go gadget: midget hat!

Yao @ 229CM already has difficulty sustaining, you see him ice his legs when he rests. His week knees and legs cant support his upper body.
