 The rule of thumb is Work on the taboo, here more on the social background: And please: TABOO!
+==== Working on taboos – my rule of thumb came from real life: ====
+**In palmistry, the thumb represents the self,** and in my rule of thumb, it represents sexuality. No places to learn, no nice language, but targeted marketing and massive personal destruction through incentives, morals, and guilt are the clearest signs.
+**The index finger is used for you; in my rule of thumb,** it stands for money, which determines our relationships. From sayings such as “money ruins friendships” and “you don't talk about money, you have money” to questions about wealth and class differences and the mental prohibition of the word “capitalism,” it is shrouded in secrecy and could very well reveal our relationships.
+**The middle finger is associated with the topic of religion or the meaning of life.** Either the ready-made package of a denomination or the do-it-yourself version of atheism and free thinking; baptism, initiation, wedding rites, and funerals included or not... an open conversation beyond the vocabulary of pastors is hardly possible.
+**The ring finger is associated with long-term relationships,** and in my work with the topics of illness, death, and farewell, i.e., the disturbances involved. Above all, grief, the permissibility of deep feelings, and their social expression are so hindered that funerals and farewells very often get stuck in awkward formalities.
+**The little finger takes care of the remaining topics of deviant behavior:** being different. Lesbian or gay, disabled or colored, of a different faith or unsuitable for society, all outsiders as well as celebrities included. The fear of the unknown remains speechless and aggressive, treated superficially in jokes and insinuations.
+=== Common characteristics of all taboos: ===
+There is a lack of language to address them accurately, while at the same time there is a chattiness of distraction. Paulo Freire uses the terms ‘myths’ and ‘culture of silence’:
+We always have good reasons not to talk about it. If we want to anyway, it doesn't work: we stray from the topic, become restless, need to smoke... If we suddenly become tired, yawn, get headaches—and suddenly don't know what we wanted to say anymore—then our inner police have done their job well.
+It's good to know a lot about them, but it's as pointless as armed combat against armored vehicles, like the military against terrorism, to want to fight them with force. Because they are fed by our own fear, we can only outsmart them gently and according to their own principles, with nonviolent methods and intelligence.
