Physical defects are an interesting element when considered within the context of reincarnation, which I believe exists.

I am short, but others are too hairy, have flat female chests, have very big noses, are very fat, have a face covered with warts, pimples, etc, have hunchbacks, etc, etc. etc.

And the golden gods and goddesses are revered because of their superb faces and bodies, even though they might be self-absorbed pricks.

Is falling far short (forgive the pun) of our concept of physical beauty a good thing or a bad thing in the context of karma and reincarnation?

Being a short guy, I'm hoping being short has dealt with a past life problem with arrogance. But one life looking up at everybody is enough.
