In a book that I read frequently there an entire chapter devoted to acceptance. I feel that acceptance of self and other is important. And that if I can practice acceptance instead of focusing on my expectations, I get along in this world a little bit better. Acceptance has nothing to do with if I like or dislike something. Sometimes I say "It is what it is." Sometimes its just that simple. Any thoughts?
Acceptance is the answer

Report AbuseNo, Jeff it not that simple .... let me explain myself.
I love many different kinds of people that do things I do accept or condone.
To break it down for you I love you but I may like you.
However, to have an open heart and that is what I think you are going for here is a pure love and the highest sign of respect.
GREAT POST!

Report AbuseDude,
I messed that all up ... I meant to say I love many different kinds of people that do things I do NOT condone or accept.
I meant to say I love you but I may NOT like you.
sorry Jeff! ... I must lost my mind on the Crazy Train!
Be back in about 30 minutes ... by the way what do you do in your real life?
And I did mean it when I said .... GREAT POST ... and I know that book you speak of.

Report AbuseThat is what I hold my standard to in almost all areas of my life. Acceptance of the real person and who they are. I don't want to know who others want you to be. I simply accept you for who you are and I surely don't try and change you. It would be quite boring to all be what we all expect the other to be. I like you you Jeff, the you that is really you. Oh Yeah! Stay You when no one is looking. Smiles....
