: : can
someone let me know what it means
: The literal meaning is about gravity: throw
most objects in the air, and they will fall to the ground. But it has been applied
to virtually everything else, too: the stock market, the price of (you-name-it),
someone's rise to power, etc. Common sense leads us to expect that no trend continues
forever. The mighty will fall. The proud will be humbled. In time, the feather
in the wind will come to earth.
However, the reverse is not often true. I've
not noticed the meek having inherited the earth as yet.
