    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.

    Yeah, the second expands on which kind of "ugliness" the first is talking about.

    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.

    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?

    That's not what it says though. The second part is pretty clear about that.

    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.

    The top half illustration shows that ugly thoughts should be expected to manifest over time as ugly face, not body language, not behavior, not having ugly expressions on what could have been a lovely face, but the face gets uglier. Meaning someone who looks nice obviously must not be having ugly thoughts.

    Yes, the second part suggests 'ugly' features can look lovely with the right attitude, but the first clearly says ugly thoughts make ugly features and by implication pretty people can't be possessing of evil thoughts.

    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.

    But the first half also says someone with ugly thoughts cannot ever look 'pretty', and not 'oh people will know your inner ugliness and refuse to see your physical attractiveness', but 'your face will develop ugly features'. So it at least declares that pretty people should be considered 'good'.

    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).

    This so mean. I do believe that an ugly heart often express itself on the face just like kindness. But this is so untrue and insulting for all the beautiful soul that are objectivly and definitly not pretty.

    Idk if it counts as ableism but this tall from R.D definitly counts as stupid.
