14. How ironic that you have a photo of James Baldwin in this thread
Edited on Thu Feb-05-04 12:19 AM by roughsatori
James Baldwin was cursed with the obsession that he was "ugly." When I first read this thread I was going to respond about how some of the most wonderful, talented people I have known were considered physically ugly by many.

There must be something wrong with me. I don't understand adults calling other adults physically ugly. It seems spiritually stunted to me. I once had the temerity to fall in love with a pock-marked "ugly" man and my friends were appalled.

I know this thread was meant as humorous and I was not going to respond--but seeing one of my personal heroes photos got me rambling.
