A fantasy for reality:
In discussing beauty in fairy tales and myths, Trebbe Johnson outlines how the beautiful is inevitably revealed beneath the ugly. It’s not only for princesses and frogs:
show compassion;
acknowledge the sovereignty of the other;
confront the unbeautiful;
love actively;
turn suffering itself to beauty.
