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.
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.
It’s not a comic, it’s a panel from a book. A book very much about physically ugly people. Right after this page, he goes on to talk about how she has a glass eye that doesn’t look the same direction as another signal of her ugliness. The implication of it all is that you become ugly from ugly thoughts, but that good thoughts can mask the ugliness.
It doesn’t?

Did you not read the second paragraph?
Did you not read the first?
Yeah, the second expands on which kind of “ugliness” the first is talking about.
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.

Yeah, its called laugh lines. People who fake it eventually start to show it in their face.
Nasolabial folds are hereditary, they come from age not from laughing.
It’s ok to admit you don’t get something.
In your case it would be half of what you post, but still. We’re here for you.
