Recently a speaker urged:  
Don't judge a person by  
their best and worst story.  
Humans are complicated and  
worthy of deeper consideration.  
  
I think about my personal  
High-Low, and I get it.   
Those two tales, when  
stood baldly on their own,  
aren't 'Me,' really.   
  
We all contain our   
own High-Lows.  
Our biggest shame.  
Our highest pride.  
  
And we also carry inside  
all frequencies,   
spectrums  
and nuance in between.  
  
May we all recall that  
we are more than   
our stupidest moments,  
our pettiest thoughts,  
and our most stubborn streaks.  
  
May we all bask ourselves  
in the light of curiosity  
while we remove the halo,  
file down the horns,  
and hold the human   
beneath the noise.
