This is a very interesting piece of writing. No going around the bushes in manner of speaking but very straight forward or direct to the point. Yes, the message really hit the mark.

I found the title “The Basics of Being Ugly” a bit amusing and at the same time quite absorbing. Who wants to be ugly in the first place? Everyone wants to be beautiful am I right?

The title reminds me of our college class back in the old days in the Art Appreciation/Humanities especially in Aesthetics. I vividly recall that our professor once told us that in Aesthetics “there is no such thing as ugly, only less beautiful”.

As I understand the writings the word ugly covers both the “physical ugliness” and the “ugliness of character”.

Whether or not there is such a thing as “Martha’s House” or it is a mere fictionalized representation, it is quite intriguing that a group of girls with physical and character ugliness are tied together in one place.

I believed that the development of any person character is always dependent upon the “nature-nurture” thing (genetics and environmental factors).

If and when I’m going to meet those girls in the near future (who knows?) I’m going to be just my old self: just be myself and to carry myself as gentleman.

Okay first and foremost let me just correct you a bit. No one is stupid it’s just that we are all different and we all act in different ways. There are people who are quick to solving issues, and there those that take time to digest and think of ways to solve the issue. We were all made differently. Maybe the way I do things is not the same way you will do yours, the way I will react to issues is not the same way you will react, there are some things that may be a priority to you that are not to me so with all this examples we cannot conclude that someone is stupid because they were not able to behave or react in a certain manner. I remember i us3d to have a girl who used to help me around the house, she used to be so slow. When you told her to do something she would repeat after you whatever you said and that used to make me so mad, but i would still listen to her and give her instructions slowly by slowly one after another. You could not tell her to do like three things at a go because she could not multitask. Sometimes I used to feek feel like I would tell her to just leave whatever she’s doing get out and not come back. But obviously I couldn’t that would be too inhuman. But you the irony is that even with that slowness she had two kids that she took care of and I didn’t have any at time. So if she had the ability to take care 9f two kids would we still call her stupid? Mmmmmhh that’s something to think about right? Check this out we have two categories of people those who are
1 Learned and
2 Educated. The difference between the two is that learned people are those who can be given a situation to solve and they will think with their minds, think outside the box and come up with a solution. And the educated are those who have to use some sort of manual or books for that matter to get a solution to a problem. You see the difference.

Let me indicate this; there is such a thing as stupidity. As Einstein said, it is infinte. To be so politically correct to pretend it doesn’t exist is rather like calling a person starving to death a ‘dieter’.
The ability to prioritise has always been a hallmark of intelligence. There are things every one of us has on the ‘to do’ list.
If there is a fire in the kitchen, for example, sorting the clothing to be washed should be stopped and the fire put out.
The fact that the helper is not intelligent is evident in all aspects. I only focus on this one because it is so obvious that a normal intellect would hear a mutual friend was in the hospital and react, not wash the dishes.
The difference is not ‘learned’ and ‘educated’ the difference is between intelligent and stupid.
Whether you have a Ph.D or have never been to school is not the measure. Intelligence is the measure.
