Accept . . Accepta. gack . . . Acceptance

I heard this from a man who doesn't have as much going for him as some of us by which I mean me.

"Today I can accept people for who they are - not for who I want them to be."

Where do these people come from?  Where can I find these people?  And how come they're so much smarter than me?  I pray and meditate and write and still I can't duplicate the simple beauty of a statement like that.

I can only hope for that kind of wisdom.  But not content with projecting my bullshit template onto someone else I actively try to force them into said template, with predictable results.  It's bad enough that you're not who I want you to be so I try to force you to change and then I get mad at you when you don't make the change.  Arrogance at an advanced level.

Accept someone for who they are.  Can you believe that shit?
