ACCEPTANCE

I accept your apology...
Does this mean i truly forgive this person?

What constitutes acceptance?
is it merely at face value that we often accept?
but
feel totally different inside?

Does being accepted, elevate a person to a higher social order?
and not getting acceptance reduces one to a 'social pariah'?

Who accepts and who gives acceptance?

Is it merely a recognition of sorts, or a loosely appointed term which can and may be
interpreted... by anyone as he/she deems fit...
to his/her advantage or disadvantage??

How a single word can create confusion, cause calamities yet cure, comfort and caringly
caress the soul...

I think 'acceptance' comes from within...of who you are
What you stand for and
what you believe in.

That is true acceptance of yourself, others and the world around you.
