Loving the Abyss

It is easy to love what we know but difficult to love the Heideggerian "Abyss". We want to be loved the way we love others but when others love us in their own unfathomable way is this not the Nietzscheian “Abyss” staring back at us?

"He who fights monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." 'Beyond Good and Evil' by Friedrich Nietzsche
