No, and I'll explain why.
I'm not an attractive man, and it's something that'll probably stay (or improve a bit when as my beard grows). The difference however is that I don't care. I have two ears, two eyes, a mouth, a nose, and hair on my head. I can live with people calling me ugly as it's simply a result of a bunch of random choices. It means little to me. I'm healthy, dress properly, and generally look fine.
On the other hand, these people's 'ugly' features are from an attack they'll never forget. As long as they look in the mirror, they'll have to remember that an asshole threw acid at them. When they get looks and chuckles in public, they'll have to remember the acid attack. It's extremely damaging to these people to still deal with the pain even after the physical portion of it is completed.
At the end of the day, I can look at a mirror and shrug it off. They can't shrug off an acid attack. |
It really depends on the person, some people can't shrug off being ugly no matter what. I was just asking though because it made me think that this is the only time I've seen people be sympathetic towards someones look. I definitely feel sympathy for people attacked with acid.
