Our accepting what we are must always inhibit our being what we ought to be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We shouldn't accept things just because somebody says so.
We live in a culture where people are constantly telling us how to get what we want, and within that message is, 'You need to be something other than you are.'
We don't change what we are, we change what we think what we are.
Things are not as we would like them to be. There is only one way to deal with it, namely to try and be all right oneself.
It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are.
To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are.
We must accept life for what it actually is - a challenge to our quality without which we should never know of what stuff we are made, or grow to our full stature.
Our entire life - consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.
We are not what we are, nor do we treat or esteem each other for such, but for what we are capable of being.
One thing is clear to me: We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.
