An interesting lens to frame the world. Are you suggesting that this stance of equanimous awareness might be cultivated through the mechanism of experiencing repeated and constant frustration/failure, while maintaining commitment to a goal? A kind of resilience?

Does the removal of many essential repetitive human survival tasks through modern convenience (vehicles over walking, markets over foraging) erode the connection between humans and this stance? Are there other games than music we can use to approach this stance?

I like that you have offered a perspective that leads to more questions rather than decrying a great answer. An invitation to think more about our relationship to experience and existence is a welcome one.
