Indifference is the "near enemy" of equanimity: the former insulates us from reality, while the latter gives us the strength to dive into it.

To catch means both to physically capture and to understand. This follows from the belief that in order to understand we have to pluck items out of their context. Can we learn to do otherwise?

Usually we see this as a dilemma: do I look after one (me) or after the others? This is a false dilemma, resulting from the separation we have concocted between me and you, us and them.
