I agree, Clint. Your words (even if marinated) are theologically/philosophically sound (imho). Humans and other creatures were made for relationship. I like how Paul Simon cleverly and ironically tells us this when his unreliable narrator declares, "I touch no one and no one touches me. I am a rock. I am an island. And a rock feels no pain. And an island never cries." I think the absurdity of the notion comes through loud and clear. Yes -- we all have a gravitational pull to one another, and we'd be much better off if we wouldn't resist it.
Gravity also warps time, - think about that metaphysically!
