Ugly is a Positive Stimulus

There are a lot of things which are ugly which I experience on a daily basis. As a visual artist, I’m very sensitive to visual stimulate. Things which I perceive as ugly, often rub me the wrong way.

However, I realize that if you had a option of just staying at home, and being bored, or be out in the real world experiencing ugly things, better to be out in the real world experiencing ugly things. Why? Even ugly things act as a positive stimulus.
