Who would you rather be -
1) a big tall handsome man who bullies his way all the way through his life but dies of cancer in the end (MF scenario)
2) small ugly dwarf who gets bullied all his life and then the bully died from cancer he realises that his life was wasted and commits suicide (suity scenario)
