Acceptance is powerful. With it we embrace reality and stop our war with reality - which only ever produces endless sufferings.
Here are two examples where acceptance is useful - you are in a hurry and there is an empty toilet paper roll which you don't notice until late in the picture, and you are in a hurry again and you don't notice that the screw-top is sitting loose on a sauce bottle and you shaky hastily. You end up with much more sauce than you wanted and then the war starts - "who didn't screw the top back on, who did that?".
Acceptance is Key
Acceptance - is the key. It happened, just clean it up and it is over in less than a minute. All done! Something inside wants to wage war - accept once again. Soothe the war. 45 seconds and all happy in contrast to 20 minutes arguing and lecturing and an awful aftertaste. What do you choose?
Old Age Accepting
When our parents get older we can get angry when things like this happen because something inside of us does not want to accept that they are getting old and that they can falter in little things like this in which they never faltered in before. Once again we can overcome this by acceptance.
End (3061).
