Or n are the ugly ones? There are more and more voices warning that there are no longer as many (ugly) ones as before. Neither ugly nor ugly. Those in the know say that we don't see them because, quite simply, we have banished them and also those who claim that they have them hidden, teleworking. Yes, it is true that more and more different types of beauty are being accepted. Picassians daring But ugly ugly and ugly ugly?
They won't find them. We have banished them and even the word that defines them: ugly, ugly, who says that nowadays? It looks as if in a few years it will become as detestable as any of the sexist or racial epithets. Time will tell.

And the fact that science has shown that they cause more self-esteem problems because, poor people, the social pressure they face to maintain so much gifted beauty is unbearable. More so if they are aware that their gift can make their more sensitive colleagues sick: venustraphobia or rejection of beauty is the anxiety suffered by enough people for the phenomenon to have a name in clinical psychology.
But don't stress. Let them be calm. Surely the law that shields those whose face hurts from being so handsome comes out sooner than the one that saves those punished for being ugly. Today, for now, they can celebrate Beauty Day.
