Introspection vs. Awareness
“Where there is introspection, which is the desire to modify or change the responses, the reactions of the self, there is always an end in view; when that end is not achieved, there is moodiness, depression. Therefore introspection invariably goes with depression.”
…
“Awareness is entirely different. Awareness is observation without condemnation.”
…
“The man who wants to improve himself can never be aware, because improvement implies condemnation and the achievement of a result.”
-Krishnamurti
