Going high is something you do rather than merely feel. Its not some call to be complacent and wait around for change, or to sit on the sidelines as others struggle. It is not about accepting the conditions of oppression or letting cruelty and power go unchallenged. The notion of going high shouldnt raise any questions about whether we are obligated to fight for more fairness, decency, and justice in this world; rather, its about how we fight, how we go about trying to solve the problems we encounter, and how we sustain ourselves long enough to be effective rather than burn out.
