The highest high is when you're at peace with your lowest low.

But if ur in America mt Everest is the lowest of lows. Truth is maybe there is neither a high nor a low but a balance. Once you've found real balance. Wouldnt that be the greatest of highs?

Because what is high will be brought low and what is low will be brought high. Such is the way of things. (Daoists refer to it as the "Dao.")
Everyone likes the highs. The highs are not a problem.
Mastering the lows takes some work, however.

existence is true, or truth exist
so highest high is something real, like infinity in truth is objective rights in terms of freedom superiority values
what is free objectively is by definition superior, and what is superior objectively is by definition above zero constantly .. so free superiority or superior freedom existences are a highest high dimension of true objective values rights

objectively where is that opinion? something that would seem more objective would be saying something like subjectivity = objectivity. can't discern objectivity without knowing life influenced by personal feelings or opinions. objectivity may be perceived as superior from a subjective point of view, after subjectively deciding that subjectivity bruises easily(or from observation/whathaveyou); then finding solace in objectivity

objective is else always, like what is true is always out of different things reality... that is how what you might perceive out of being you, being else existence present like objective world in general, belong to absolute superiority ends, which is infinite existence
else superiority cannot be subjective, because subjective value is something else and not superiority subjects are to freedom value which is totally different then superiority, while it is a definitive right of existence value too
usually, superiority need to be more free, and freedom need to be more superior ... both are existence reality fact being positive present of always

total transcendence of the mind, able to let the cosmic waves pass through your local quantum point as they come, no hang ups. constantly departing yet always arriving at the speed ov God.
the highest high and the only one that doesn't dissipate.
