Quote from: Uppland on December 29, 2014, 01:23:07 AMIt's all bullcrap, no one knows for sure what exactly makes us grow because it's such a complicated process. Taller parents equal a greater chance to be tall and growth hormone might help -it might. Other than that you just better hope you're one of the lucky ones because this shiet is all a lottery as far as we are concerned. I feel kinda bitter thinking about it -if I had grown just 5CM more I'd be so much better off -5CM! That's like nothing when you are 12, it's insignificant when you look at a ruler but now I gotta do some surgery straight from hell just to be 5CM taller -it really, really sucks.
We don't have to, we want to. With braces, we want straight teeth so our peers won't shame us into extrinsic disgust. With LL, we want a tall stature so our minds don't shame us into intrinsic chaos.
This wouldn't be the case if our surroundings didn't pressure our mindsets to dysfunctional perspectives, desiring what we can't.
What a messed up world we live in.
