Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker suggests that when someone confronts the abyss, nothing looks back at them; there is no hostile force, only emptiness. In that confrontation a person discovers their own character, and it is that character, rather than any outside power, that keeps them from falling in.
