The mind loves to take credit

I hate making stupid mistakes.

Stupid is a judgement. Mistake is a judgement. Hate is a judgement.

If I make the statement that I hate making stupid mistakes. If I question that statement internally and see the judgements. If I think "but I've gotten results! I'm extra diligent when I need to be so I prevent making stupid mistakes. This adaptation I have made, this judgement, IT HAS HELPED! How could you let go something that helps? That is silly!"

It was going to happen anyway, my nature is to be diligent. There was no choice. There is no will.

The judgement is optional. The mind is gasping for air as it declares that the judgement has helped.
