Dear Tony:

Reads reasonable, that you “need to practice inner acceptance”, and accept “those things that (you) don’t want to accept”- this is a difficult challenge. When we don’t want something to be true, we don’t want to accept it. We want to change it. When we can’t change it and we keep wanting to change it, we keep getting hurt and frustrated.

It is similar to a bird flying into a closed window trying to get into a room in a house, banging its head against the window again and again. I guess the bird doesn’t accept that there is a closed window there, between her and the inside of a room, so she keeps flying into it, getting a headache every time.
