      Ah yes, the famous “if you’re beautiful you’re a good person, if you’re ugly you’re a bad person” that is one of the biggest reasons why the world has gone to shit

      How stupid can you be to post this crap?

          It says that if you have good thoughts it will show.

          In other words, that you can tell by the looks if someone is a good person or not. Seems the same to me.

            No, you have it backwards. Bad thoughts leads to bad looks, not bad looks leads to bad thoughts.

            If you appreciate the look you’ve been given, not letting it bother you and ignore mean comments then you’ll be happier person, and that will show. And a happy person will always be beautiful in someone’s eyes (especially your own).

            It says that a person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly, whatever its face features. The picture in the bottom shows a beautiful person with a wonky nose, crooked mouth, double chin, stick out teeth, but still not ugly.

            What I get from that is that if you are a good person, aka having good thoughts, you are beautiful whatever your features. It’s a message telling children that it’s okay if they have bad features as long as they are nice. It’s about body positivity and spreading kindness, and I don’t understand why you are trying to twist the message.

            And to add to this, I wholeheartedly agree with this. Look at musk, trump, bezos or zuck. Look at right wing influencers. They are ugly people, whatever makeup / face lifting / etc. they use. Even if they might have very nice to look at faces, I find them all ugly. They frown, they shout, they rarely smile, and when they do they smirk. Having good thoughts, especially towards other people, makes you beautiful.

        It’s true because it’s practically tautological and it isn’t talking about sexual attractiveness or physical beauty?? Are you OKAY???

        It doesn’t?

        Its very clearly saying ugliness isn’t a physical thing but a state of being.

        I assumed it meant being mean, rude, negative in a harmful way then that’s what being ugly is. Meanwhile, someone who doesn’t have traditional markers of beauty who are also positive things like kind and uplifting, then they are lovely.

          It literally says having ugly thoughts over years makes your face get uglier and uglier, and shows a persons face visible transforming into like a fucking witch or something?

          Look it’s not a great book, literally written because he hated beards, and the accompanying illustrations don’t help promote a positive message.

          We can do better than the 80s in social messaging by a literal antisemitic author who routinely mocked peoples appearance in his works.

                  No, it says that good thoughts cannot ever be ugly even with ‘ugly’ physical features.

                  It does not say you do not have ugly physical features from having ugly thoughts.

                    It says that even if you have conventionally ugly features, having good thoughts will still show on your face and people will notice. The inverse is that regardless of physical features having ugly thoughts will show on your face regardless of physical features and people will notice.

                    It’s okay to say that you didn’t get the comic. You can agree or disagree but saying that the comic states that physically ugly people have ugly thoughts is wrong.
