The Paradox of Accepting
I think the biggest misunderstanding of acceptance is that it's a kind of passivity and it means how are we going to fight for our earth and save life on earth? How are when animals are treated with such cruelty billions and billions each year are tormented and killed to satisfy human diet preferences? So it's over and over again do we accept and acceptance does not mean passivity. We're saying I acknowledge the horribleness I acknowledge the realness of the violence I am allowing my body and my mind to feel that. It's only until we accept the reality that we actually wake up the kind of compassion that can act from intelligence because otherwise we're acting from hatred or reactivity.
