Another Reflection

"Size matters not...Look at me! Judge me by my size do you?" - Master Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back

In the world of Midgard, this saying has been ringing in my head one after the other. I have encountered monsters that are smaller but are stronger and faster than me. There are those whom you think are harmless and weak but end up being one of the strongest creatures there. I have died trying to beat these monsters. And I kept on trying to be stronger than them.

This is also applicable in real life. We shouldn't judge someone just because they're smaller or seemed weaker because they do not seem the type of people who can take care of themselves. I have seen big men cry because they were beaten up by a small man. And I have seen silent types, take up a weapon and beat someone to a pulp. I have seen small kids stand up against a class bully.

Size is not an element whether a person is strong or not. I have been mistaken for a weak person myself. Being a small and light person (people love carrying me around because of my lightness) people tend to not take me seriously when I tell them that I would like to challenge them in a fight. Though, there aren't many of them that I have fought against. People that I did get to face tend to be bigger and so they think, stronger. But in all those occasions, I'm proud to say that I beaten them in every possible way.

Honestly, I'm a little proud that I can beat up guys but I'm prouder if I can beat them up by words and witty remarks than brute force. Kind of like Master Yoda. =)

Master Yoda is the strongerst Jedi I know. Okay, he's not real but you learn a lot from him. He did kick serious ass in Attack of The Clones and to think that he's just a small creature. But he'd rather discuss everything first than beating the living daylights out of other people.

Anyway, my point is that never underestimate small people. They might be just little and cute but they can be deadly as well. So be sure to check otherwise, you might get into serious trouble and end up crying in the end. =)
