About this quote
Most of life swings between poles — you love, then resent; feel elated, then crushed. A deeper pursuit of what is real aims to loosen that grip, not by going numb but by no longer being flung around by every high and every low.
When to use it
- A trader who stops riding each market swing up into euphoria or down into panic.
- Someone who stays steady whether a first date goes well or falls completely flat.
- A patient who meets good and bad test results with the same even calm.
