It's fine to look plain or ugly - 1000 years from now, we'll all look the same as one another.
No. It's never fine to look so.
"You can never be overdressed or overeducated." -Wilde
Neither dress nor education is linked to the looks given by genes.
It can be fun to write pithy one-liners for pleasure. However, we should remember that far too many "plain and ugly" people have suffered or ruined their lives because they've been told that "it's not fine", when they are otherwise healthy and productive members of society.
In real life, I hope we can all exercise a little more understanding and compassion for those with looks-related woes.
@jacobtan And you didn't mention anything about genes in your first post. I don't think most people would interpret it in the way you now describe.
Neither did I expect that someone would jump the gun and link looks directly to dress, when they are distinctly separate things. But I'll grant you that about the ambiguity.
In truth, both the wise man and the fool are equally stupid. The only difference between them is that the wise man chooses not to open his mouth and reveal this truth to the world.

If your religion tells you to hurt or kill (or otherwise be generally crappy to people) in anger or hatred, you may wish to re-examine your choice in (or interpretation of) that religion.
