The Philosophy of Ugliness

I have a theory — perhaps ugliness is a physiological thing? When you see or witness something ugly, it is a sign of dangerous negative hygiene, degeneration and the bad?

Mold is a poison

Perhaps mold — is ugly, instinctively because can destroy us?

A bad stoic philosophy— some people, their soul is mold. Their character and personality is moldy. Not to their fault, but to the situation they’re in.

If someone lives in a cockroach, rat, 100s of cats, moldy, dirty, full of trash never cleaned for 5 years, hoarder home — what do you think will be the personality, or health characteristic of that person? Certainly abysmal. Treat people like this metaphorically.
