Never is this more true than when gravity overcomes our best efforts. Every small child has experienced the effect of up , which is followed by down they go! The trouble comes when the down is out of control.
I suppose the pain after the fall is more emotional than physical. If the person falling has worked hard to get up the down can effect their ego. The physical pain may only be temporary and pale in comparison to the feeling of failure,
Often though the down part is expected and not taken as failure. Look at the Wright Bros, they were able to go up and even though that was followed by a down they were pleased! Pioneers like them have many ups and downs to overcome.
God has and always will encourage us to go up and soar as we can. God also will comfort us after, if we should fall! Verses: Isaiah 49: 16 Psalm 119: 153-160 Eph 1: 3-10
