Based on an Indian theme.
One of the - or THE- most important Hindu spiritual text - Bhagavad-Gita advocates equanimity. That one should treat both pain and pleasure without getting involved. Detachment or equanimity is the way to go through life.
Story goes that God narrated and 'revealed' this doctrine on an epic battlefield to a prince-warrior who wanted to renounce the world rather than go through the war.....
The original title of this piece derives from the God's advice as above.
