Yeah, I believe so too vincenzo. Especially if we practice self compassion, and have an awareness of our blind spots towards self. Then accepting other’s how they are becomes a non event. Although having said that, there will always be people that are bad for us. We can accept people without welcoming them into our lives.
Yes, it is an interesting way of putting it, because while we accept they are bad in our life it ultimately means we cannot accept them as far as confidence and trust goes. Here acceptance takes on two meanings.
Sounds like an important doctrine to embrace.

I embrace me and me embraces back. I enjoyed your poem, “Place of Power”. These poems are dark, but they got me an A in a poetry course.

They’re fantastic Joe, I can see why you got an A!
I tried to comment using my wordpress ID, but I doubt it worked.
P.s. I seriously don’t class my longer writings as poetry – it’s not due to humility, it’s more to do with… well, the result.
