Yogi: I’m frustrated and sad when there’s a lot of judgment and sometimes my mind is so stupid because it is such a waste of time. Sometimes I do compassion for myself when it is really hard and that loosens the tension.

Sayadaw: The main culprit for hating these minds that arise, the main reason we have so much aversion to these minds, is because we think ‘it is my mind’.

If it was not my mind but some other person’s mind, we would not hate it so much.

Remember that judging is one of the nature of the mind, not only your mind can have it; every other person’s mind can have it. 

And this sort of mind is just conditioning. These minds have manifested before and now they manifest again. It is not our fault; it is just conditions that have allowed them to arise.

Everything we experience now is just the effect of past conditions.
