The lowest low is when you expect and demand only the highest high.

Highest high, yes... but only for the moment. All highest highs are momentary only.
To live in perpetual peace, be at peace with your lows.

lowest low is the existence wills through objective negative inferiority ways
what insist to look at everything else as being wrong to kill, is the living low of lowest ways, it is the low reference of the lowest it insits to point as the source of its fictive superior pretense of being truly existing

why is it couldn't go higher. momentary highness because going higher and higher. holding peace through all is good. no need to hold peace with lows. make peace with lows, close book, begin a new.
be stoked

Don't really agree with this one but we're probably defining the same bunch of words differently
There are times when the attitude of wanting only the very highest arises, with a strong refutation to stand as anything less, and for those times i'm extremely grateful
Maybe it's ultimately just masturbation but it's very fun

"Low-ness" -- misery and human suffering -- comes with having a body. Or so the very ancient wisdom in the Tao Te Ching says.
The wise embrace their full humanity, which includes both the highs and the lows.
This is not to say that you wallow in, or encourage, your sufferings.
This is to say you accept your sufferings as the price of being human.
