Since the beginning of time human beings have felt disgust. It has kept us from eating things that are unhealthy. It has kept us in good health. It is a primal emotion. Disgust is often used to persuade others that it is ok to look at differences with disdain. It is important to talk with young ones about disgust. If we truly know our emotions and feelings they can not be used against us. Lately a politician was talking about others as vermin. This is an example of using disgust to pit people against one another. If we can look at disgust as a basic human emotion that is there to serve and can be ameliorated much peace could be had. I hope my book on disgust will do this.
