have you ever wondered just how tall you actually are? for me, it doet matter how many times i do it, i still want to see how tall i am. well, luckily, the city of toronto also shares this wonderment and as a result, measurement park! it's replete with muskoka chairs, just in case you get tired standing next to the various poles to see how high you measure in centimetres.
but really - why stop there? i want more measurements - i want weight, i want volume, i want iq, i want self-worth, gosh darn it!
and that's what it really comes down to - doesn't it? we are always looking for the approval of others. we need to make sure that we, well, in short (or in long - depending on which is more beneficial at the time), measure up. whether it's to be above average or to just meet it - we want to make sure that we are there.
i don't think there's anything wrong with trying to measure up - but i guess the real question arises as to - what are we trying to attain? who tells us what we are trying to attain? and do they have any idea what they're talking about? all i can say, whoever they are, i hope they did their fact checking.

yah, I totally agree with you on this one. I just feel that people constantly need to validate what it is that they have... to make sure they are at least in line with others, if not better. Like right now, for instance- I'm trying to type faster than the girl next to me in this lab. It's a race and I'm beating her.. and the best part is that she doesn't even know it.
You know what will make you taller melpie?...wearing a fedora.
