can't say it better

" Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect to someday suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? Then why do we feel it even when the observation tower comes equiped with a sturdy hand rail? No, vertigo is something other than the fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us that tempts us. It is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves."
