What is the difference between a dispassionate state and a state of  
emotional numbness? For instance, the emotional numbness integral to  
post-traumatic stress disorder?
 
Is the "desired" state of dispassionate existance really a means to  
escape the intensity of "the real world" that is unbearable without  
numbness?
 
Or, does a dip into dispassionate existance provide a springboard for  
a return to the "passionate existance"... in that it may allow one to  
gather resources and perspective in "dealing with" the "real world"?
 
Susan? Tony? Angelique? Anyone?
 
what serves, 
Nina
