Self-acceptance is the ultimate act of courage and compassion. After all, none
of us really likes himself, and we all pretend to be someone we’re not. The
road to self-acceptance is bumpy, and there is much denial and pretense along
the way. How can we expedite or ensure self-acceptance? We should regard
self-acceptance as a lifelong goal that needs constant self-examination plus
nurturing from family, friends, and professionals. The world would be a better
place, if we could all learn to accept ourselves and others.
