The difference is, as I understand it, is this -

DOVINA: Look at me. I'm angry.

ZODIAC: I'm looking at me. I must not really be angry. If I were really angry, I probably wouldn't be capable of looking at myself. I'm sure glad I'm not angry (or even partly angry) practically ever.

What I think you're talking about is detachment from your CIRCUMSTANCES (ie, the situation doesn't make you uncontrollably sad, angry, or whatever), but you've somehow morphed it into detachment from YOUR EMOTIONS (ie, you're sad or angry but simultaneously not sad, angry, etc). You've probably done that because you have all sorts of odd notions about emotions, objectivity, and yourself existing in different realms, instead of all being part of that wonderful package that is Dovina. That's what I've been asking about.
