    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.

        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’s okay to say you don’t get the book.
