Rose DesRochers @ World Outside My Window posted about being accepted as she is. It is a good message for all of us to take to heart, I think. I know some of you will be quick to jump in to comment that, as an individual, she or I, or you, (or definitely those people over there) should try to change. I don’t think she is saying that we shouldn’t try to change, to grow; I think she is merely focusing her words in that particular post on acceptance. I believe:
Acceptance does not mean we have to like everything about others or ourselves, it does not mean as individuals we will not both accept our shortcomings and attempt to change some, it only means we recognize others as humans who are — as the cliche states — only human.
Being only human is a good thing. Would you want to have a relationship with a robot?
Rose posted this video, that is how I found it. I feel the words to this song and the accompanying images bear repeating, just as her words on acceptance do. Today is the first time I have heard this song; I was into rock, I still am, but country has a lot of words worth hearing. . . Please, enjoy Mark Wills:
