Gravity in the realm of thought?


Gravity as we know it is a law of physics. General relativity explaines the most accepted reasoning and scientific explanation behind it as of today.

When smaller objects get closer to bigger objects the bigger objects attract and pull the smaller objects because the dent that the bigger objects create on time space continium is much steeper than that of the smaller ones.

But anyways bigger objects have the legal right to pull smaller ones towards them.

This being accepted and true, a somewhat simmilar force like that of gravity can be seen working in the realm of thought.

Reasons that suggest that forces similar to gravity exist in state of thought.

1) We are compelled by some forces to act(or the forces have exerted a pull on us in order to act)

1.1) Whichever action it maybe that we do, we have been compelled by some force to do so.

1.2)  Feelings, desires, convictions and all that push a person to act in someway are pulls.

2) As we get closer to any pull the pull gets stronger and the harder it is to get out of the pull.

3) As we get farther, the pull gets weaker and the easier it is to get out of the pull.

4) There is an end to a pull as we acomplish the deed and satisfying a want is the acomplishment.

How gravitation works in the world of thoughts

5) First, The reciever of all feelings is the the person

Because

5.1) Feelings can't just happen there needs to be a feeler

5.2) There are preset values set by nature on the person. Eg pain, pleasure, good feeling and bad feeling. The person naturaly seeks pleasure and avoids pain, discomfort and displeasure because feelings and their basic interptetations of them are preset. Eg pain, pleasure, tiredness etc all have different interpretations and effects. Meaning one would feel those feelings together with their interpretations(good or bad) whether one likes it or not.

So

5.2.1) There are such things as preset good and preset bad. Feeling bad is naturaly a no no and feeling good is naturaly the oposite in terms of feelings for the feeler.

And

5.3) As a consequence of the preset values, the person can have good things or bad things happen to it due to preset interpretations of feelings in different circumstances.

Also

5.4) Whatever values not preset and are to yet to be set are only ways of accomplishing the fulfilments of those preset values.

Eg:- Say a moral conviction about something is not set and is yet to be set.
To set a moral conviction one would have to reason.
By reasoning one would chose what is moraly right in one's eyes.
By chosing what one thinks is moraly right one would satisfy the "feel good about self action and fairness" part of a naturaly preset characteristic one already has.(If one has one). Or it will for sure satisfy some preset value that one naturaly has or else there wouldn't even be the effort to set those values as the drive to set those values must have come from another force that wants satisfaction by setting up those values.

5.5) When one decides in certain situations there are different pulls that affect the person but it is mainly the preset pulls affect the person

Eg:- Whether or not to rape another person

Things that play a role.

5.5.1) The person

5.5.2) Feelings.

5.5.2.1) Main preset feelings meaning likes and dislikes, pleasures and displeasures(with the added effect of personal reasoning)

5.5.2.2) learned feeling(learned through what the comunity and others did and do and ethics of the comunity and others)

5.5.2.3) preset feelings(with added effect of reasoning) and learned feeling and also natural strength and  resistance of the person together would be the contributers for the outcome of the conclusive feeling that one may eventualy decide on.

The conclusive feeling is always a means of accomplishing a desire or desires of a preset feeling or feelings.

Meaning the conclusion would always satisfy some preset characteristic of self like happiness, fairness, survival, ego etc.

In this case if the conclusive feeling decided upon raping, it would have satisfied the pleasure and enjoyment part of preset feelings. If not, it would have satisfied either the caution, moral fairness, sympathy or other specific part or parts of preset feelings.

5.5.2.4) Standing by conclusuion depends mainly on strength of person as other feelings may sway the person away from the pulls of the conclusion as time goes by.

6) What does the pull pull if the person is only experiencer?

6.1) It pulls the experiancer because the main parts of what the experiencer would want and not want is already preset(happiness, satisfaction, pleasure, displeasure, pain, comfort etc). Interpretation of major feelings(especially from our sense organs) are already preset.(like pain, pleasure, cold, heat, relaxation, worry, fear etc) Values not preset and that are yet to be set are only ways of satisfying  preset values as seen above.

So to summerize

7) Preset values decide which way the person would get gravitated to and to what extent. They decide what the person would be pulled towards and against.

Eg:- Feeling of pain and pleasure. The person would naturaly be pulled away from pain and towards pleasure.

7.1) Since the basis for what one considers good and bad(in terms of feelings) is already preset, the magnitude of how much a person gets gravitated towards something is only the magnitude of the effect that the preset value has on the person

Eg:- If a person is getting hands burned, the person would be gravitated towards pulling the body part being burnt away from the fire.

If there maybe are other things that one may be gravitated towards doing, at that time, the magnitude of the gravitation towards pulling hand away from fire would most likely out gravitate almost any other gravitation that the person maybe gravitated towards doing at that time. So the person takes that action.

Or

If one is to decide whether to eat an unhealthy but delicious food or not while being obese, the preset feeling of wanting the pleasure of eating and the preset feeling of wanting to be happy and healthy by losing weight or wanting to exalt the ego are some of the major forces that have the power of pull.

Strength and resistance would have a say in the course of the action.
