Personally, I feel that a story with highs and lows, or with ups and downs, appears as more attractive to me now than a middle-of-the-road story dominated by equanimity.
Believe me, there have also been times where I would have absolutely welcomed equanimity to replace pain and whatever came before as well as whatever would come after.
However, looking back at such episodes, I see how experiences of discomfort often turned out to become building blocks for later moments with new depths of comfort.
And though it sounds like bliss to learn to continue to sense such deep comfort even in the face of any discomfort, wouldn't that just be yet another story? Don't all stories pale in comparison to the joy of being here to have a story?
