The Gift of Unconditional Acceptance PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mary Ann Romans

Unconditional acceptance of another person is a wonderful thing that is very difficult to achieve, and maybe impossible to achieve 100 percent. But that is okay. The more effort and understanding we put into our marriages, along with a good dose of love, the closer we can come to this ideal.

 

When you first meet someone and then fall in love with him or her, the whole thing is rather exciting. You may find yourself overlooking the other person's faults (and we all have them) or trying to cover up your own. But marriage is all about trust, to whatever rules you both decide. And giving someone the gift of unconditional acceptance is one of the greatest things you can do.

Many times we accept things in other people but don't give our spouses the same courtesy. We may excuse a beloved sibling or friend for some "quirk," but chew out our spouses for the slightest contrary behavior, contrary to our own standards of course. But how amazing would it be, if you could look your spouse in the eye and tell him or her that you love and accept unconditionally.

I first really learned about unconditional acceptance when I met my husband. Then the three children being born to use honed that awareness even more. Think about a new life that comes into the world. You love this little baby despite the fact that it poops on itself or cries for hours with colic. It may tire you out, but you certainly don't love the baby any less. You accept that this is just who he or she is at the moment.

Adults are a little different of course, but we all have harmless things that we can't or don't want to change. Of course, I am not talking about things that cause harm, such as abuse or infidelity. But, instead of focusing on the little "bad" things that we don't like about our spouses, we can instead make our opinions gently known, offer alternatives or solutions but then ultimately decide to accept things for what they are.

Men’s Rights – Perspiration or Inspiration?

As I think about the today's theme - it reminds me of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric bulb. He had made a famous statement "Things are 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration"

Same applies to men's rights movement as well. It is a matter of constant awareness campaign and hitting at our opponents and proponents of male abuse. Contrary to popular belief, it is 3 times easier to abuse a male than a female because males have no support structure and male abuse is accepted by the society as social service.

Follow Yourself; Not Tradition

As I have repeatedly mentioned in my articles that cultures have deceived men, acting as vultures. Men have been used as the FREE ATM MACHINE, the UNPAID BODYGUARD, the de-facto PROTECTOR and PROVIDER, etc. by cultures and in the process have been reduced to disposable entities. Their abuse is considered a social service now.

And men, the way they are, are in a great way responsible for this. They rarely challenge or question conventions, traditions, histrionics and stereotypes thrust upon them. They do not feel the need to fight for their rights - only a handful of them are doing though scores are getting victimized. They do not demand for their space in the society and accept things as offered to them.

To this effect, today I take the example of Skandagupta - the great emperor of India. His stepmother has him sent to Ujjain so that her son can be made the emperor. He obeys her. But then the Huns attack India under the leadership of Attila the Hun. The army of Skandagupta calls him back as they needed his expertise.
