The Law of Disgusting Acts

Most of the time when we see certain things or people, we say that it's disgusting. This is because the act the person cause us an intense dislike. It's either we don't like to see it or the act itself really bad. For example, when we see some girls who try to act cute when they are not cute at all. That's really disgusting (very disgusting!). Or when we see our ex hugging her new bf in a public place, that's disgusting as well (even more disgusting than 1st example!).

But, the question, when we something is disgusting, is it the thing itself is disgusting or just we feel that it's disgusting? The act itself is disgusting when it is of really bad standard. Let's take the 1st example. The act of acting cute when they are not cute is really disgusting. So we look at it we feel disgusting. So this is an external problem.

There are some situations where we say it's disgusting because we feel it is disgusting. This is an internal problem. Second example will be the best explaination to this situation. We see our ex close with another guy, we don't to see it, our brain cannot accept it(especially when you are still single but your ex got another guy), that's why we say it's disgusting. Lets say we see another couple that we don't know hugging in public place, will we feel it is disgusting to the same extend? Maybe not. So it is we that interpret it as disgusting.

There are two test to help us to determine whether the thing itself is disgusting or it's just we that feel it that way. 1st test is reasonable man's test. When we feel something is disgusting, try to ask friends around us whether they feel the same way or not. If yes then it's true that it is disgusting. If no then it is you that feel it disgusting.

Second test is to put another in that situation and imagine that if the another do the same thing, will you feel like want to slap him/her? If yes then it is disgusting ( you can slap that person). If no then it's your own feeling.

Conclusion, whenever you feel something is disgusting, alwyas turn back and ask whether it is really disgusting or it's just you feel it that way. Use the two test above to help you determine.
