We don’t yet understand that we cannot fight what is. That’s like kicking an apple tree to try to make it produce oranges! When you have acceptance, gratitude follows. You become grateful you could accept.
Acceptance also helps us to lose our fear of others. What you see of yourself in acceptance, you are not afraid of others seeing. The more you see of yourself, the more you recognize that you are neither better nor worse than anyone else. We are all in the same boat.
