I Think I'm Ugly

How can the word “ugly” be deconstructed?

By showing different leaves, different rocks, different shapes, different colors, etc. Then demonstrating the difference between subjective preference and objective reality. Objectively none is better or worse, they are just different. Subjectively according to taste there are different preferences. The ideal would be to not take a subjective offense personally because it’s not objective. After the preference is made, and a person or thing is chosen, it still goes into the “can a lot of my desires be fulfilled by him/her, or this.” A failure of the chosen one to fulfill desires could result in the rejection of them, except later than sooner.

I'm feeling you. I like what you're saying.

A diamond amongst a society made of common rocks would likely be considered ugly by popular opinion.
