The Quality of Interest in Mindfulness Meditation

For me, interest has played such a key role in my meditation practice. There's a tendency in the mind to be self judgmental when we're involved in some kind of negativity or suffering. If there's the quality of interest, it's like removing that judgmental aspect. The difference between being angry for an hour and for five seconds is a huge difference. Once you know to expect that you are going that many negative things will keep coming up, victory is in the half life of these things.
