Secret-Of-The-Ugly-Man

He whose face is unsightly and bare will never proceed with delusion when confronted with reality. He whose looks are ‘undesirable’ will cease to ridicule features of another. He who sits on the side of the road will refrain judgment of the man who lay beside him. He who wears shoes with holes will fail to scowl upon the woman who emerges from a different house every morning.. He who sleeps underneath a bridge is not phased by the pickup caked in mud that drives by each afternoon. He who begs for food from others says not a word to those who steal. He who is an outcast to society understands the grievances of even the most fortunate.
