About This Quote
The idea of "gravitation" is the natural attraction that we feel toward that which we perceive as having a high degree of potential in terms of life and/or living. Most people still think that death and illness and pain and suffering and all of the things that make us uncomfortable are bad things. But, the truth is, they are not bad at all! In fact, they are all part of life. In order to grow and learn and mature, we must face our fears, no matter how big or how small they may be. And, if we don't, we will never truly experience life.
