I really like your observation of calm as a ‘marketable state’. For me it’s become another cog in the massive Wellness Industry machine which actually causes people to feel guilty or inadequate about their stressful, chaotic lives.. another thing people need to ‘be’.
As a part time yoga teacher I do think calmness can be developed as a tool, a way to approach to situations, a perspective preferable to anger. But it isn’t a permanent state, a thing to purchase or win.
