Interesting Andre,

The main difference between gravity and love is that love pulls life whereas
gravity pulls everything.

Andre:
Hi John, the notion of 'life' is one of those wonderful SOM ideas
which is dragging loads of connotations with it. I must readily admit
that I haven't thought this through yet but 'life' in MoQ terms is
(imho) different from our conventional, SOM,-religious understanding.
Platt springs to mind as one who keeps on hammering on the speciality
of the occurrence of 'life' especially 'human' life.

As said, I haven't thought it through yet, but since you put it in the
above context...what is 'life' for you?

Cheers,
Andre, (the combination of static
inorganic/organic/social/intellectual PoV's capable of responding to
