Beauty comes in so many packages, and what may be to one may not be to another. Ugly, on the surface, is abnormality. But there we go again with what we are accustomed to . What about the people with the gene that causes them to grow hair like a werewolf? Do they find one another ugly? Are they really ugly? Maybe ugly is just "different," and only to those outside the norm of a certain group. ? Ugly beyond the surface is persona. Maybe we should decide if we are talking about surface/physical beauty vs. persona? If Penelope Cruz behaved in an ugly manner, she'd still look drop-dead gorgeous....but she'd be an "ugly" person. (not saying that she is)<br />So on that basis, if I narrow it down, I'd define beautiful as healthy and ugly as abnormal or deformity. How unfair. and still complicated. <br /><br />This is fascinating, Susan.Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064314452903527430noreply@blogger.com
