Why Equanimity?

Because the world suffers from conflict caused by misunderstandings, biases, aversion, craving, selfishness, fear, ego, pride, anger, insecurity, greed, low self-esteem, arrogance, poor communication skills, incomplete knowledge, low patience and low tolerance for diversity.

Well, OK, so the world is not FULL of all this, but even a single incident involving any of these is likely to bring doom and gloom and loss of equanimity.

Equanimity can make conflict resolution easier. It can prevent and is the solution and antidote to the pain caused by a loss of equanimity.

If not 'Equanimity', then what other choices are there?
