Aristoteles wrote this is the goal IIRC. In buddhism they aim for something similar, neither being swayed by your desires nor fears, stay calm enables being able to act instead only reacting to external stimuli on autopilot. Nothing wrong with it IMSO.
I think the word for this is "equanimity" and it is certainly a desirable state.
But it should not be "grey" like the sibling comment indicates but full of joy, bliss and wonder.
I think experiencing equanimity is a sign of releasing the ego which is natural as we age and become less attached to our ideas of who we are and closer to the reality of our impending death
i love coming back to the 4 thoughts (buddhism).
1. impermance
2. suffering
3. karma
4. precious human birth
suffering arises as a failure to recognize impermanence. thoughts and behaviors that reduce suffering create ripple effects (karma), and the same is true of thoughts and behaviors that increase suffering. and it is a rare opportunity to be born as a human and to reflect on our own conciousness and the 4 thoughts.
