The term "high ground" has military roots. An army perched on high ground such as a hill commands clear fields of vision and fire over the ground below. Occupying high ground always provides a tactical advantage.
Can the same be said for daily battles or one sort or another? Imagine the difference between watching an argument on television, and being part of a similarly tense situation. Detachment makes the first situation easy on the blood pressure. What's to stop us from exercising a similar detachment in the second?
The ability to "float" above our own situation, to elevate to a higher ground, could instill a new found peacefulness.
