I think the same laws of physics apply in this case. Everything is moving,vibrating at some level even though we don't feel it. And the smaller units just drop through spaces too small for the large units to achieve. Pretty much like the crumbs and pieces of broken tortilla chips that fill the bottom of the bag.
Just physics and gravity.
But if you BELIEVE that being bigger, better, more desirable, or happier, wiser, and more giving makes you rise above the masses, nobody can tell you otherwise.
