Before acting or reacting, we allow ourselves to feel and accept our grief for how the earth has been polluted, our anger about the destruction of wildlife, our shame about how we have been mistreated, our fear about what others may think about us, our guilt about our own insensitivity... [Radical Acceptance] is where we cultivate the genuine wakefulness and kindness that underlie effective action. Gandhi, Aung San Suu Kyi, Nelson Mandela... by accepting rather than denying or reacting to their own suffering, they freed themselves to work without bitterness or self-pity for peace and justice.c.o. moedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842423601233807880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938111885824771622.post-71923881749349068322011-01-04T04:52:57.258-08:002011-01-04T04:52:57.258-08:00Accept?
