Active Acceptance

August 21, 2009 By Clare Leave a Comment

We are not doing ourselves justice when we reproach ourselves for feeling a certain way. Moral evaluation—whether something is good or bad—presupposes choice. We may not like the law of gravity, but the law in and of itself is neither good nor bad—it simply is; we may not like feeling the need for approval, but the feeling itself is neither good nor bad—it simply is.

~ Tal Ben-Shahar
