highs and lows

Where would the highs be without the lows? With nothing to compare the highs would seem like nothing, then we take them for granted. Suddenly, the majority of the time everything is fine and because that becomes the norm we lose appreciation for it. Then every low, every fight you have with your significant other, every time you're late for work, every time something is not fine, it stands out and becomes significant in your mind. Suddenly, you remember two small arguments with your spouse as two straight weeks of non-stop yelling contests, in the past month McDonalds got your order wrong three times but you remember it as if it were every time. There are hypnotists who can create false memories in you, and you can do it yourself. Take a step back and look at the situation from beyond yourself, maybe it really isn't as bad as you think it is. Live for the highs and prepare for the lows, but never lose that appreciation for the good times because if you don't you wont be able to recall a single good thing.
