Why does man have to conquer? -- because he is in a difficulty. Be compassionate to man, he is in a great difficulty.

I said, "What is the problem?"
He said, "The problem is I am in love with a woman who is taller than me. Now, should I marry her even though she is taller?" No man wants to marry a woman who is taller -- just out of an inferiority complex; otherwise what is the problem?
I said, "There is no problem. You can always carry a small stool with you, so whenever you want to
