Talk:Acceptance
|
|
OLD: Acceptance is a cognitive activity or state that is the opposite of resistance.
It's only the spiritual/psychology sense that's being dealt with here.
I think "activity or state" is good, but it's not much help defining one vague, tricky term as the opposite of another. I feel the antonymic sense of resistance should be noted with reservations.
I deleted the paragraph contrasting acceptance with approval, sympathy, liking , tolerance , and affinity. Of these, I think only tolerance is worth the space, but the deleted text did little to distinguish among these senses. Perhaps also surrender and resignation could be included in a discussion of overlapping terms?
More applications are needed alongside Buddhism. Meditation, Islam, other faiths...?
Re Minorities: "on equal terms in all aspects of" adds nothing to "full participation."
