When talking about about acceptance, it seems obvious that people should try to accept others for their differences. Unfortunately, acceptance does not come easily to everyone. It doesn’t even have to be about trying to accept, it could be the opposite like, “Why should I accept this person for being different?” or “How do I accept someone for being different?” Maybe even why certain people don’t accept others, reason being is just for the sake of argument and we must know the opposing opinions to help our own opinion or in rare cases, relate to our opinions.

    Martin Luther King Jr. declared, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that” ( citation ) .

    Self-acceptance can be a pretty broad term. It can address many different facets of the human experience. It can be talking about your looks, your ideology, your situation; really anything that you experience in your life. That’s why it is important to define it in the way that I see it, because so many others can have a different perception of what it really means. To me, acceptance is acknowledging your flaws and learning to be okay with who you are as a person; no strings attached.
