It is important—also reassuring—to recognize that most people are funny-looking. One ought not feel ashamed to be among them.
Anyone who says otherwise is trying to sell you something.
Clearly, if there ever was a plan, it involves being gawky and lop-sided. Also: bald, lumpy, bow-legged, jug-eared. These are the true fashions. Almost no one, after all, has navel rings or platform shoes, whereas bellies and crow’s feet are absurdly popular.
We shall laugh in our mirrors then, and not save up for the knife. It is right to be funny-looking and it is all right.
There is, I presume, some evolutionary benefit: the lions all look at me and laugh.
