You know, I don't particularly want to wear a nice hat on a warm day, but I'm doing it.

That's how, that's how we do, you know, that's how we do life.

We, we integrate in these ways and you can't predict when you're going to need surgery or whatever you're going to do.

Oh, there you go.

It could be a keeper.

I couldn't, a keeper would be in the back, which is not where the bandages.

So that wouldn't work.

Yes.

Well, it looks like a number of things.

It looks like the ability to

be aware of your inner state and be able to calm it down and regulate it.

So even if a challenge comes in, you know, someone upsets you on traffic or, you know, someone says something terribly in an elevator or whatever, you can react, but then you come back to baseline.

So some people call that equanimity.

You're not like an automaton.

You can have human reactions, but then you come back to baseline.

So that's equanimity.

It's not like living like you're numb, you know?
