Anything that isn’t reactive originates from System 2. For instance, if your religious beliefs prohibit certain actions, witnessing them in practice naturally leads to a sense of distress.

This process of reasoning is facilitated by System 2. You can read more about System 1 and System 2 here: https://coffeeandjunk.com/thinking-fast-slow/
