No, we’re open to that, too. Only by combining gravity and levity can one become fully human - or so says Machiavelli, anyway, author of the Prince, Discourses on Livy, and Mandragola (a delightfully bawdy and deeply philosophical play, almost unknown these days).

“I would believe only in a god who could dance. And when I saw my devil I found him serious, thorough, profound, and solemn: it was the spirit of gravity - through him all things fall.
Not by wrath does one kill but by laughter. Come, let us kill the spirit of gravity! I have learned to walk: ever since, I let myself run. I have learned to fly: ever since, I do not want to be pushed before moving along. Now I am light, now I fly, now I see myself beneath myself, now a god dances through me.”

- Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra; first part.
Levity and gravity mixed like no other.
