I started my morning with the curiosity of checking “the tallest women on Earth” on Google.

I discovered pictures, with numbers attached and I was surprised to find a lot of jokes connected to them…

I was sad to see that people stop and  look at pictures, check the numbers and then we say WOW…

And that’s it.

THIS IS NOT IT.

They are human beings, they cry and laugh, they dream and give up, they try again and succeed.

They are like us…only a couple of inches taller

I respect them for their strength, for their power cause I am sure it’s not easy to see everybody’s eyes analyzing you with unsatisfied curiosity.

233 cm (7′9″) high

She is Yao Defen, from China…with passions, fears and dreams…just like all of us.

Indeed she is tallest woman on earth, but is this a reason for celebration?

Instead of looking at her like a magnificent creature of the nature, I choose to see her as a woman like all the others…and in her eyes you can see more pain that happiness…I wish her an easy life…
