Because only the beautiful deserves to be lived. The ugly is abominable, repulsive, repellent. Disposable. It is no coincidence that the word 'ugly' comes from the Latin foedus, which means fetid, impure. I mean, creepy. I mean, expendable.

Throughout history, the object of what would later be called 'aesthetics' has revolved around beauty as sensitive and individual perfection. And in order to explain the ugliness, its contrast has been used. Hegel, for example, understood that "ugly is a distortion" (Lectures on aesthetics). Ugliness has been understood as the deprivation of beauty.
