Acceptance
Acceptance is a word too little understood, as its meaning has been co-opted. Acceptance in its purest form is Love, unconditional. Because love is not an emotion, a thing expressed only through passion, shared only between two lovers. Love is a decision, and its realization transcends emotion. Love is Acceptance, pure and true.
This decision is made without expectation, we must only decide if we can Accept someone, if we can make peace with that decision and live with it no matter what comes. We must chose only to relinquish all Fear of that individual, and engage them with the respect of Honesty. Because to accept another means to offer them your trust, to say that you can trust me and I shall do the same with you. I Accept you by allowing you the chance to Accept me, by not rejecting or abandoning you out of Fear. Instead, I chose to speak or act, to try to understand you and make peace with the part you allow me to play in your life. Love does not have to be returned, but it does have to be accepted.
So look not for Love, but give it to those who are deserving and open to it. Present it to those you have a capacity to understand. Say, “I will not Fear you, I will not reject you, I will not cast you aside at my discretion. If you can stand there before me, and be embraced by my Love, then I will be there to embrace you, to tell you the truth, to accept your trust.”
