FYI ~ (decay &) disgust is the Cinderella of emotions

Bones and mold ~ Au Sable Forks, NY - in the Adirondack Park • click to embiggenNone other than the New York Times and a variety of scientists / psychologists / researchers have followed my lead into the study of decay and disgust. From the the Times article (complete article here):

Disgust is the Cinderella of emotions. While fear, sadness and anger, its nasty, flashy sisters, have drawn the rapt attention of psychologists, poor disgust has been hidden away in a corner, left to muck around in the ashes.

No longer. Disgust is having its moment in the light as researchers find that it does more than cause that sick feeling in the stomach. It protects human beings from disease and parasites, and affects almost every aspect of human relations, from romance to politics.

I just knew I was on to something big, even though it took some time for others to catch up. Remember, you saw it here first.
