One humorist, speaking about the strangeness of nature, asking the question: why we are pretty unconcerned about the mosquitoes, who drink the most expensive here, and we hate cockroaches that nobody toga. The question evoked laughter. But in fact the behavior of people in this situation very logically. We feel an aversion to cockroaches, but not to the mosquito. We disgusting crush fingers fly, but we are without aversion can crush a gnat. We can let a ladybug crawl on our hands and we even like it, but the bug-soldier, such as a small and beautifully painted, immediately shake off his fingers. We feel an aversion to the caterpillar and not feel a moth. We were running away in horror from a huge spider and catch the crab fingers of the same size. We are happy to eat crabs and lobsters, which resemble insects, but can you imagine a huge bug in the plate?

The basic fact is simple: we feel an aversion to what is or may be a carrier of contagion. Cockroaches, flies and other insects - the usual hawkers diseases, so they are repugnant to us, even kill them disgusting - the easiest to move away from them or get rid of, that is not to engage in any contact. Disgusting dead body, especially the long-dead, disgusting green slime, and some smells disgusting in appearance, some skin diseases, disgusting mud. Moral disgust - disgust for media MORAL INFECT. It may be some ideas or objects in which ideas are embodied. What is it and how much disgusting - it's a matter of taste, different people call different things, I can say that disgusting to me personally.

I personally disgusting all that infects primitivism, I can not remember even a few cases of acute aversion: when in a serious article, Congress named the "Parties" and when a certain image-maker told the smiling actor to "show its teeth." Nasty pop songs like "Girls yubchenki short, but not all, but only the most contagious - which in a few days begun to be heard in every street of the city. I even have a special flair to the song that would become popular in just a day and for all whether the two will die no more than a month - these songs are the most disgusting and the feeling of disgust I have never deceived.

Disgusting fanatics: the first ochred, cultists, who go from door to door and trying to persuade healthy people to their faith. Sectarians who do not actively contagious - not disgusting. Disgusting bureaucrats, bureaucracy, and everything associated with bureaucracy, disgusting any paper work and red tape. Working in schools, very bureaucratic, more than once I got punished for that bad working with documents. Shockingly, when the bad taste to marry a role model, disgusting state lie that instantly picked up by officials of lower ranks and forced to repeat his subordinates.

Disgusting fraud for profit, especially one that is assessed as the ability to live - that is, the estimated positive and, hence, zarazitelny. Disgusting ignorance declaring himself a "new wave", repulsive indulgence for yourself, otvratetlny profanity, disgusting expression-blanks, allow us to speak without thinking, as they say parrots:

"Hate hate", "short pin". Disgusting film characters - soap boys in soap serials. But the murder or robbery is not shocking - to them feel completely different feeling, so that they are almost contagious. Not disgusting, and cruelty, it is terrible, as terrible snake that suddenly see a foot away. Cruelty does not infect and kill, so reflexively want to freeze or otprygnut aside - both on the snake. The proximity of cruelty, as well as the proximity of the snake "curdle the blood." But this feeling - not disgust. This we have inherited from our ancestors reaction fading - shrink, hide, play dead. The other does not agree with me and call other reasons for disgust. This, again, a matter of taste. Healthy taste means not only the adoption of healthy things, but a healthy aversion to unhealthy.
