"Distance from emotion? No Bruce-kun...The aim of meditation is not to escape feeling. The aim is not to push emotion underground. You meditate to bear witness to your emotions without judgement. Only by knowing them can you avoid succumbing to them in ways that might hurt you or cause harm to others. Do not block off parts of yourself, Bruce-kun. We are all human. We are made of darkness and light. Let yourself be full."

― Matsuda (DC Comics)
