As long as you are not in touch with your intrinsic nature, which is the nature of everything, there will be the nagging sense that something is not right. That nagging feeling is the seed of the fixation of ennea-type One. You feel that something is imperfect about you because you are looking at something else and not seeing your perfection. Then follows the activity of comparison, judgment, and trying to make yourself and your situation better so that they will feel perfect. But they will never feel right, you see, until you just relax and discover what your situation really is. – Facets of Unity: The Enneagram of Holy Ideas, ch. 14
