what happens if i want to enjoy the ups and downs that come with not having equanimity? is there a way to have my cake and eat it?

equanimity makes the bad things not bad anymore and the good things even better. It isn't about being calm

Being calm doesn’t make you equanimous, but being equanimous can make you calm
Equanimity means exciting, powerful, and scary things can happen without you getting too caught up in it. Being caught up is usually what magnifies it, and not getting caught up calms it

absolutely terrible name it’s got in english tbh, sounds like “sameness” to my ear. what’s the pali / sanskrit, let’s use that instead
agree in most cases I prefer pali words bc the translations come with too much baggage
