The Right Thing

Thinking about perspectives and the question of where is right and where is wrong.
There is the absolute right which are things like the law, or the Ten Commandments, which describe as a common denominator the rules by which we all should live. No wrong will come to anyone as long as everyone abides by these rules. The relative right describes what is right for a person, and does not necessarily have to be right for another person. This allows for a certain blurriness between right and wrong, or at least allows for the fact that more than one thing can be right.
Ultimately we all start from this perspective, and it is the artists' obligation to explore the universal within his or her personal right perspective.
This then becomes a lot about identity and the feeling of belonging. Strong national and cultural identity allows for a strong sense of belonging, but for the price of a narrower perspective on what is going on outside of that circle. Increased migration and more frequent mobility between different cultures has forced people to feel at home in more diverse cultural circumstances, but often paid for with a sense of uprooting. Although this loss of cultural perspective can be perceived as emptiness, it also opens up a wider perspective on human existence, providing room to explore that border zone beyond reason and before faith.
It contains the questions of the end of knowledge:
Will space exploration ever allow us to understand the infinite emptiness of the universe, and give us an answer to the question of wether we are alone or not?
Does knowing more and more details about the genetics and molecular biology of our brains get us any closer to understanding how we think and how we feel?
How do we respond to the certainty of our own death and what is the reason for hope?
So does Mr Pin Stripe Suite really have the answers to the questions we all want to know???
