sometimes resistance is just fear wearing something softer.

acceptance isn’t heavy because it’s wrong—it’s heavy because it’s honest.

and honesty always asks a little more from us

I think resistance to negative things is always good. So, acceptance can't be (shouldn't be) applied to everything. For instance, my resistance to smoking is good, and its acceptance is bad. Am I right or wrong?🤔

acceptance leads to growth; it is brave to be honest with ourselves about the 'why' of our resistance

Beautifully written Simran ☺️💙✨

I like how you compared between resistance and acceptance.

Acceptancing good things and resisting bad things leads to growth in life.

This is a beautiful piece. Quiet enlightening I must say

But I’d like to chip in the fact that Theres good resistance and bad resistance…as well as good acceptance and bad acceptance.

It’s crucial we specify the context of what’s behind the door - the end destination like you said

If it’s slavery, doom, vices, addiction, negative factors like this should be resisted.

Positive resistance builds stamina, courage, resilience and control just Luke positive acceptance. Mastering the art of resistance is key in making good life choices

Acceptance on the negative end could result in laziness, low self esteem, comfort and the likes of it — just like negative resistance.

For instance the habit of saying yes to everything has been known to be a major challenge for most humans

Acceptance sometimes is not a result of a choice made but lack of one.

That being said you did a good job at highlighting an aspect of the implications of the two concepts: resistance and acceptance

But it would be better if you narrowed down the context so some persons are not mislead.

Cheers 🥂 I look forward to reading more of your works. You strike me as someone that has a depth of thinking
