its a tricky balance, really. the additional problem is that even if you do so... it might still *appear* to be the same thing.
my best thought is to strive to make it so its not that you don't "care" but that the caring is tempered with balance. its that you still care, but that you don't allow that caring to be dwelled on unduly or overwhelm everything else...
just my 2 cents though, I could be completely wrong, :shrug:

There are two types of equanimity. The one achieved by indifference whereby neither this nor that has any weight. Then there is the type where this or that have equal weight. If you want an equanimity not based on indifference then you need to see value in both sides. So equal that the scales are not tilted in eithers favor.

Evenness of mind; that calm temper or firmness of mind which is not easily elated or depressed; patience; calmness; composure; as, to bear misfortunes with equanimity.
If it becomes indifference it was not equanimity. However, it could be the path - keep trying.

a dispassionate balanced outlook can work without going to the extreme of indifference by being moderate . Moderation is the key to many things in life and i've seen the evidence of this through experience from others long before I realized the tremendous benefit that living in moderation has for me when I am able to remember and utilize it.
peace out
