disgust
Request: strong feeling of dislike or sickness caused by something gross, ugly, or very unpleasant.
cynicism
Request: attitude of distrust or the belief that people are motivated purely by self-interest.
fear of doing something karmically wrong

flip a coin
Request: Tossing a coin into the air to make a random decision between two options.
respecting and honoring the dignity of all individuals
