Wherever you go, feces, urine, blood,
-
vomit, rotten flesh and most meat will be disgusting.
-
Now, if that was all we had to say about disgust,
-
it wouldn't affect morality very much
-
but we know that people can be seen as disgusting.
-
And Charles Darwin actually, who was an astute observer of human behavior,
-
tells a nice story to illustrate this:
-
how "A native touched with his finger some cold preserved meat
-
and plainly showed disgust at its softness
-
whilst I felt utter disgust at my food being touched by a naked savage
-
though his hands did not appear dirty."
-
People can be disgusting and if people are seen as disgusting they matter less.
