It's kind of like: next week when you go into a shop and when you pay for something, it costs one Euro. You take out one Euro and you look at it, you go: "Should I give him just the top of the coin or the bottom of the coin?" - Is one side more important than the other side? It's impossible. You can't pay by only giving him one side of the Euro. You need to give the whole coin which is both sides. Okay?
Within all of the Dhamma practice, we need these massive connections of all sorts of things. We have Equanimity, we have Compassion/Lovingkindness, we have Wisdom, we have Mindfulness, we have so many different things and we not going to take any out. And to say, "Well, this is what is important, and since it's much more important, I'll just do this one." No, we can't do that, they all work together. Without Compassion/Lovingkindness you won't have very solid Equanimity at all. What do I teach with the fifth reflection? You need to have Compassion and Equanimity in balance. It's impossible to separate them if you want either of them to be strong. So as much as you think Equanimity is important just because it's listed a few more times, forget that, they are both very important.
