I'd much rather be oblivious than overwhelmed. Think about it. When you're bored, you're being overwhelmed with having nothing to do and you go crazy since you're searching for stimulus. The same applies for when you have too much to do; you're overwhelmed and you go crazy while you're looking for a break. Being overwhelmed leads to exhaustion and that keeps you from getting the job done.
Feeling nothing though has its pluses. Those who are the most successful push aside their feelings all the time so they can remain productive and get the job done. If they opted instead to let the world get to them, they wouldn't be able to get focused or think about the task at hand.
When I think about being at peace at not having to worry about anything, I think about being a buffalo on a wide open plain that doesn't have a thought in the world. He just stands there minding his business, staring off into the distance, and watching the birds fly over the horizon.
Actually, just typing that is making me kinda sleepy from how peaceful it sounds. Aahhhhh. No worries in the world......

Feel nothing. You will last longer and be happier. You may not get to as high a happiness as over feeling but when you find something that truly makes you happy it will be a much truer and deeper happiness then you could have imagined. Be cold and calculating. Always ask, what do I get out of it?

I would rather over-feel everything. Feeling is part of what makes us human. I wouldn't want to give up that part of humanity. Besides a good psychologist could teach me how to cope with over-feeling. But to never feel love or joy or happiness or sorrow or remorse. What kind of life would that be?
