Equanimity is NOT about ignoring negative emotions.You might want to re-phrase the first part of your clip.Often, equanimity is misunderstood as a passionless existence in which one has no likes or dislikes;where one never gets upset, never gets affected simply because one does not care enough, or is able to shut down emotionally so as not to feel. On the contrary, one who is established in equanimity feels deeply; cares deeply, but has the wisdom to go beyond the limits of our changing world.
