What is acceptance?

Question

What does everyone think? Does acceptance include leaving all prejudice and feelings at the door? Or are they allowed to still have their opposite thoughts and feelings about a topic and still be considered accepting?

What say you?

Answer

I'm not sure that it's possible to totally shake all internalized prejudices. However I do think not actively disagreeing with who someone is, is a key component of acceptance.

Whenever I hear a variation of, "I accept you, I just disagree"  or that old chestnut "love the sinner, hate the sin" it comes of as pure condescension.

Answer

I think if you tell someone you accept them for who they are you need to do it 100%. No ifs buts or maybes. Obviously we are humans so in our minds we could have our own thoughts and judgements that don't tally with what we say to people.. But maybe that means that we haven't genuinely accepted the person.. Idk

Answer

Everyone is allowed to have their own views and opinions, but everybody deserves to be treated with love and respect regardless of things like race, appearance, height/weight, etc That stuff is all on the surface and what truly matters is being a good person and treating others with compassion
