It is equally unfair to dislike someone for being attractive as having a deformity.
In "Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine" by Gail Honeyman, the character reflects on perceptions of beauty and attractiveness, suggesting that judging someone for their looks is as unjust as discriminating against someone with physical deformities. This perspective challenges societal norms that often elevate physical appearance while stigmatizing differences, emphasizing the need for empathy and acceptance. The quote highlights the arbitrary nature of beauty standards and encourages readers to reconsider their biases. It calls for a more compassionate understanding of individuals, advocating for the notion that everyone, regardless of their appearance, deserves kindness and respect. Recognizing that both attractiveness and deformity can be met with undue judgment fosters a more inclusive mindset.
