To understand what is going on
in my belly, the tingling and tickling
of the flagella that know blindly
what I am hoping for, I dive down
in the collective unconscious
I juggle with symbols
name the gloss of the cells
soul and the cells an embodiment
of the great soul, the invisible
connection of everything, and among all
there is the mystery of the angels
who hold our essence
and carry in their hands my desire
to the nesting place
in my belly, tingling and tickling
while there are so many questions
from the angels of my mind
which are condemned as devils
by the fear of independence
of others and of yourself
questions about what is going on
and opinions, pros and cons
angels and devils, sometimes both armed
with deceit and threats, denying
that they are part of the great soul
in my belly, the tingling and tickling
of the flagella that know blindly
what I am hoping for, I dive down
in the collective unconscious
I juggle with symbols
name the gloss of the cells
soul and the cells an embodiment
of the great soul, the invisible
connection of everything, and among all
there is the mystery of the angels
who hold our essence
and carry in their hands my desire
to the nesting place
in my belly, tingling and tickling
while there are so many questions
from the angels of my mind
which are condemned as devils
by the fear of independence
of others and of yourself
questions about what is going on
and opinions, pros and cons
angels and devils, sometimes both armed
with deceit and threats, denying
that they are part of the great soul

ETHICS, SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS
Ethics is something human. It orients people towards a group or a greater whole to which they belong. For example, your family, the city where you live, humanity or the universe. In the context of your family and the city, ethics has a social function, in the context of mankind and the universe, ethics has a religious function.
PROS AND CONS, GOOD AND BAD
The world is not rigid. Groups and larger wholes are constantly changing. So the ethical views of people inevitably change. There are always deeds that are both 'good' and 'bad' for the group or the whole. For example, the construction of a motorway; for example, abortion. It is not only about whether there is a conflict between the interest of an individual and the interest of a group or of humanity, but above all, it is important that in such cases there are both pros and cons. The latter means that both options are apparently important for the group or the whole. From tradition and conservatism, one choice can be labeled as 'good' and the other choice as 'bad', but these labels are not helpful for those involved; it is better to name the possibilities rationally with their pros and cons. Ethics is the social and religious search for a good balance. That is functional for an individual. And sometimes you are left with an unsatisfactory mix of pros and cons, which in a given situation does not lead to a decision that is unambiguously the best.
