Gravity

The nature of gravity is that it keeps us down, the difficulty in ascending tells us this much. Grounded to the floor in order that we do not endanger ourselves and such, trivial reasons, all of them. The reality is the nature of such phenomenon. The perceived consequences are merely an accessory for our understanding and appreciation.

I suppose, to conjure an argument against nature for our purposes is a thing that we humans do instinctively. Blame the rain for days when we want to be out, the sun when we are out, our appearances or intelligence for our failures and successes and et cetera. Yet, the moment we step out of this visceral bubble that is our well being, we see different justifications for nature's behaviour, sometimes drastically distant from our self importance.

My point is, this myopic view of the world clouds our judgement on what is right and wrong, for these judgments are more often than not, made at our behest. How then do we adjust knowing that our actions are merely ripples in a great ocean of actions and reactions?

You follow those you deem best. It is without a doubt that the best inherently have within them the capacity for values that are admirable and worth emulating. It is highly likely that between their set of values, and ours, lie a valley of differences, of polish and refinement. If we are to follow those we deem best, it becomes necessary that we too must change, to attain their polished and refined values. Therein lies gravity, the reluctance to move forward, and to remain stagnant and below instead.

Is it not our nature to rise?
