You looked at them and wondered why they were so ugly; you looked closely and could not find the source. Then you realize that it came from conviction, their conviction. It was as though some mysterious all knowing master had given each one a cloak of ugliness to wear, and they had each accepted it without question. The master had said, " You are ugly people." They had looked at themselves and saw nothing to contradict the statement. "yes," they had said. "You are right."
