Feeling detestable?

Worthy of intense hatred or disgust because it fundamentally violates our core values. This is moral revulsion at its deepest.

The unmet need

Clarity about our deepest values; the right to completely reject what violates them; alignment with our moral compass.

A question to sit with

What core value does this violate so deeply? How can I reaffirm that value in my own life and choices?

What to do right now

Name the value that was violated. Cut all ties with what detests you. Then take one action today that embodies the opposite of what you detest—live your values actively.
