What is beauty but how well someone conforms to society's ideals?
To me, beauty cannot exist in someone who has not found their own beliefs, and instead lives "how she was raised." Someone that cannot think or feel for themself what is right and what is wrong is ugly in the truest sense of the word. I'm glad she got canned, not for her beliefs, but for the fact that they were NOT her own. If she simply believes what she does because that's how she was raised, then she is no better than the child of a zealot, a racist, an abusive partner - she never examines things beyond "this is what my parent(s) did, so this is right."
