I'm digging the moral questions here. The modern existence is one in which we know there is no objective morality, no God to tell us what we ought to do. We're suspended over an abyss of nihilism that we can fall into as deep as we would want. To believe anything is right is to hold yourself up over that pit, knowing there is nothing below you. But there is no place anywhere you can stand, no bottom to it, no place where you will find ground. "When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you--" we see the meaningless in ourselves.
Coming out of this problem is a solution that if you are suspended anywhere, you can choose to where you'll be fixed in this moral pit. You shall choose your place and know that no matter how low or how high, there's a way to be lower, and a way to be higher.
