High level or Low level languages

So /prog/, im trying to get into programming but i don't know if i should start with a high level or low level language. Basically, should i go for the complicated, high power, high level languages or should i go for the low power low level languages? I'm a beginner so i don't know if I could handle high level stuff.

High level is easier and will teach you what programming really is/should be. Low level is needed if you actually want to understand why it all works and how to handle stuff when it breaks badly or just when you need to optimize.
