This evoked Platos discussion of morals to me, he made parallels of being a moral person being 'arete' and being an immoral person being 'acratic'. The acratic is the valley basin where it is overpopulated and you can't see 2 steps in front of you to make kind judgements. Whilst the arête is the mountain tops, the acmes, where you are above all the rest and can see all around and make calls that don't harm others.
