Acceptance

*Resistance is always Futile (worthless) as it only Sustains Your Suffering*
Whenever anger appears inside your mind, you will notice that you are in a
state of resistance, or non-acceptance, towards an event, a set of
circumstance or the other person - sometimes all three. Resistance is the
seed of all conflict between people. Resistance sustains the cycle of
violence with others and with yourself, and it is driven by the emotions of
fear and anger. This is why the first step to resolve all conflict is always
acceptance. It is to accept the past is past and nothing can change it. It
is to accept that other people's behaviour cannot be controlled, because you
cannot control their thoughts and decisions, and you definitely cannot
control their beliefs and perceptions (ways of looking at things).
Acceptance means that you are able to think calmly, see clearly, create
options and make better decisions. Acceptance is the first step out of
anger, out of your self-inflicted pain and suffering, and into peace.
