1. I definitely agree with the Packer’s statement that Introspection was never taught to us as children. In my own experience, I have tried introspecting through meditation. I find that an hour of meditation gives me the necessary strength to deal with my emotional turmoil, which is something that Packer recommends when he says, “Introspection is a cognitive, intellectual process directed inward, focusing on and identifying the internal processes of one’s consciousness.” (Packer, 3) I feel that meditation on one’s own acts and contemplating on the same brings about the same effect as recommended by Packer. However, at this stage in life, I do feel introspection is difficult for our present lives don’t give us the luxury of meditating in peace.
