Acceptance: wiki pedia gives the following:
Acceptance is a person's agreement to experience a situation, to follow a process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it, protest, or exit.
Validation and Acceptance if not the same thing..then close enough..Are the two things in life that most people seek...and never really obtained..If you just first read the definitons of them both..it's almost disgusting.. Validate to make valid to confirm.. Acceptance to follow a process or condition...It almost sound like the definitons are describing a disease of some sort..Why do we as human beings seek...these two things so hard and make the most horrible mistakes and decisions just to obtained them both.. Why are we willing to compromise our values in order to fit in..And if we don't feel the need to be validated or accepted does that make us some type biological anomaly.
I'm not a doctor or a Teacher but I have had almost a 30 year course in the school of Validation and Acceptance.. Why do others opinions matter so much as to influence our behavior, how we live our lives and what we say..Human beings since the beginning of time have look to others to gauge their self worth..was it because when they were young they were never told they matter..In this blog I will examine these two powerful elements and the betrayl of self that it brings with it..
