Familiarity


Familiarity is a magician that is cruel to beauty but kind to ugliness.

  1. Depending on the context, I agree and don't agree with that statement. Do beauty and ugliness refer to a person's physical appearance or do they refer to all things beautiful and ugly? Ugly situations will remain ugly, no matter what. For me, someone ugly is a person with a propensity for evil and does not refer to a person's looks.

  2. I take your points on this. That's why I posted this one. I was struck by how my own thoughts ranged after reading it.
