But if you were to do so by sleeping with your sister or father, that would be a taboo. To cheat on your partner is not a taboo in itself. Taboos are more than simple prohibitions or social faux pas. It guides our actions and forces our hand.īoth privately and publicly, those things that we cordon off as being the inaccessible and forbidden are known as taboos. Disgust is one of the most powerful feelings we have, and yet few poems or songs are written about it. Revulsion tells us as much about who we are as the things we are attracted to. Those unspeakable parts of ourselves also reveal so much. You’ll gasp and clutch your pearls tightly, but, at the same time, your heart has a darkness to it that no one can ever see. You will be shocked to hear them spoken by anyone else.
There are things you will never talk of perverted, grotesque, and macabre thoughts that stay tightly bound in your head.
