Acceptance is not a state of passivity or inaction. I am not saying you can't change the world, right wrongs, or replace evil with good. Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to successful action. If you don't fully accept a situation precisely the way it is, you will have difficulty changing it. Moreover, if you don't fully accept the situation, you will never really know if the situation should be changed.

beautiful. yes, acceptance is a constant monitoring of one's inputs from one's enviroment, and putting these into context, rationalising them, neutralising them. Else we just respond in an instinctive, reactive, emotional manner; as if on autoplay or autodrive.
