good point about it pointing down...

i just figured this: typically, hell is on one side, heaven the other...

island closest to hell is one the VERY LEFT side...and Island Closest to Heaven is on the VERY RIGHT (right...righteousness, right hand of righteousness, common sagings)

the Right being the approved side...the Left being the cursed side
Both on opposite ends

that concludes my thoughts
