energy seeks it lowest state. the bottom of the gravity well is at it's highest energy state.

For example, a 1kg mass at the top of a building can perform more work than one at the bottom of the building. The one on the ground has less gravitational potential energy, all else being the same.So that mass sort of seeks that lower energy state deeper in the well, which is why water runs downhill.

the closer to the gravitational source the stronger the gravity. the further away form the source the weaker the gravity.
i'm certain there is a line or two that some will consider word salad and will object to. so be it.
