What is the importance of accepting others as they are?

Question

tell a life experience if u want plz........

Answer 1

ooh. well i have to accept my family for who they are, i dont agree with most of them as to their beliefs, but i am glad i dont share their beliefs.
now if they would accept me for who i was then i wouldnt hate them so much. and if they think what they think about me when it's not fact then fine, they can believe another lie, but i wont.
they think they know me, well they obviously dont. and sometimes i fall as low as them to be so judgemental and think i know them that they are wrong. but why should i fall if i dont want to be like them. i am me, so what if they think i'm so different (from them) that i'm wrong. i know i'm right (to me). and that is me trying to accept them the way they are, and that makes it sound a lot easier.
if i can "Accept" them for who they are then i dont care so much about their acceptance of me, i have done the right thing, and been mature and stronger than them and if that makes me think that i'm better than them so that i have the strength to be me and not care then good. (now i get all angry at them cos they are so stupid i wish they'd have spent their lives trying to grow up and not tell me everything i do is wrong)
something about putting your differences aside and getting along, because thats what makes us all so great, that we are all so different, but that doesnt change the things that make us the same, our feelings (are apparently meant to be the same), that we care and we get hurt and we're trying. even though we're on different paths or dont like vegemite?? or... i dont know.
to be nice, accept others that they are stupid if you can be stronger in mind.
mind you i will not try and get along with someone if i have not "forgiven" them. that is my choice and that is so they dont do it again. Sure i might converse to keep the peace but thats it, i dont care, i dont want to hear it, hurry up and go away :)
no point getting into an arguement with my dad about what we believe cos its a waste of time, now if we could just have a conversation about it and discuss each others beliefs ok (we could both walk away having learnt something from each other, about each other) but it always ends in an arguement, i guess i ask why too much, and that is probably the bigger difference between us, he accepts things as he sees them and doesnt ask why, i on the other hand must ask why i need to know the reason! and it's never worked, since i was a child and now. I'm glad i'm 6hours drive away from him, and just maybe i might change my mind if he beats me to the grave. but i would rather stand my ground and be stubborn. when he accepts me for the way i am then i will accept him for the way he is. He is meant to be the adult!
So what was all this rambling for? Accept others as they are. What is the point of changing someone, to be more like you? Because that makes sense. That is life, nothing makes sense. If everyone was the same we would die of boredom. Well maybe just accept that they are different. and if they cant accept that you are different then they are more stupid than you for not being able to see atleast that much.
And i wonder how much of this you can throw back at me, but that would be my fault for answering.
the only thing left is that not everyone is as they appear, some try to hide the truth they believe and be what they are not, for many reasons, some are just upfront and honest....
my question to you though is why are you asking this question?
(do what you like, it's your own life, sure others might "Suffer" but you yourself have to live with it every second for the rest of your life)
Now i could start on friends, but i'd have to have them. My old friends we all had something in common, sure we were totally different but thats what was enjoyable, that even though we didnt agree, we could agree to disagree and we never made a big deal about it. Our friendship was stronger than our differences

Answer 2

Most of the human nature is defined in the genes. That means people can not change the way we want them to, no matter how important we think it is for them to change.

Also, none of us are perfect in every way. Even the most gorgeous woman on earth would have some flaws; even the most perfect looking man would have some lose ends. Then how do we love someone ?

Answer is, by accepting them the way they are !

Example: One of my best friends is a chain smoker and I do not smoke. He can do anything for me but can not help smoking even after knowing that I strongly disapprove of smokers.

Here, if I continue protesting against this habit of his, then we would probably end up having a nasty argument. Instead, if I prepare myself to accept this 'bad habbit' of my friend knowing that he must have accepted many of my bad habbits, then the friendship would survive.

That is why it is important not to find flaws with people you love, and accept them the way they are.

Answer 3

some people dont have a strong sense of self and need to feel love and validated. its an important period of growth. and if they dont receive it, it can cause developmental problems and suicidality. if the love is not received they can even end up having a shortness in the mind as they become adults, like doing drugs etc.

once their cups are filled, they can go on and be happy upright indviduals. so whoever needs your love, just give the love. whoever is weak, just help them and validate their goodness. a little love goes a long way and its a small gift to give. not hard at all.

Answer 4

Variety is the spice of life or Agree to disagree - we are all different on purpose, God designed us that way. So, we accept others as they are - we don't have to like eachother but we should respect one another. We are more connected than we probably realize.

Answer 5

If you learn to accept others as they are life is much easier for you. Realizing that you cannot change others lets you decide to either further a relationship or let it go, we can't change other people we can only change ourselves and our reactions to them.

Answer 6

they will feel peace from you, and they will can continue with their growth in life healthy. you can only accept others as they are if you accept yourself as you are.
because of your small effort as they continue to grow, they will too reach the point that they will realize to accept themselves and accept others as well. then everyone matures and soon there will be peace.

Answer 7

Answer 8
