The difference

There is a big difference between HIGHs & LOWs and PROs and CONs.

The highs and lows are relative, reaching upwards or downwards on a scale. If you had an excellent week and had only positive experiences, you can still rank the most satisfying one as a HIGH and the least amusing one as LOW. There is a good one and the possibility of a less good one – not necessarily a bad one. Behind HIGHs & LOWs, there is self-assessment, perceiving.

PROs and CONs imply favorable and unfavorable factors, advantages, and disadvantages. There is a good and a bad one. Behind PROs & CONs, there is self-criticism, judging.

Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.

C.G. Jung
