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.

It is a real place, and these are real people; warts and all. Their ugliness is not just physical, it is everything about them. Their behaviour has virtually chased the more normal people out, and they don’t seem to appreciate reality.

If Number 4 were true I would have died a thousand times already. 🙂 I eat lots of leftover rice!
I think we are probably immune to it, cause we do eat a lot of rice. And many people leave it on the stove, covered, over night.
