What does that mean? I have heard people say something to that affect for the longest time.....I never understood it. How would you know what being "high" means? Everyone talks of an experience like this when they go to the holy city of Mekkah and Madinah, but I did not experience any sort of euphoric effect, even though both sites had a deep personal connection and meaning to me, not to mention the gratification of doing something so important in my life..
