I think that you might consider that meditation is a tool. Tools are neither good or bad, it's how they are used. The key, I fear, is that meditation can cause depression. Awareness without a fast adrenaline response is risky. Depression takes one apart from their surroundings, separates reactions from conscious awareness. If a snake is going to bite (more probable in today's times), you need not to be aware, but to have lightning reflexes. Being too peaceful is dangerous, and depressives describe a state similar to meditative ones. Not affected by what's around them, not thinking about the future, living in the moment - however, it's existing, not living. Not suffering but creating distance from your pain is another depressive reaction.

Hope you are having fun.
