Acceptable

The word "acceptable" is such a broad spectrum that you cannot really define it to a particular meaning as it has so much different relevance to everybody out there. Each of us have been raised and influenced by various factors to have a set amount of beliefs and values and with that we have a certain level of acceptability when it comes to situations.

To a high powered businessman it is acceptable to think of people as assets and not really have any connection to specific people because his values dictate that people are merely assets and if they do not bring value they can be replaced. Now for instance if you take a social worker they have to deal with peoples emotions and all emotional aspects of a situation that could determine someones immediate future. So no matter what we feel is appropriate we cannot really tell anyone how we feel about a situation they are dealing with because our values might not coincide with the proper way to deal with things.

We are by nature very emotional creatures as human beings and when you actually take that out of the equation you are faced with a whole different aspect and avenue that can be followed in most different scenarios we are faced with. Yet we cling so much to who we are as people that it affects each everything we are faced with to a point that we want to sometimes save the whole world all on our own knowing that we cannot even save ourselves in the process either.

I am guilty of trying to sometimes enforce my values and the things that are acceptable to me down on others simply because I feel that everybody would be better off feeling and thinking the same at all times. That in my mind would probably bring about world peace, but I tend to forget that people with the same personalities hate each other more than anything else and we would be worse off than when we started.

I say its a good thing that we are different and that we have our own views because opposites do attract and differences are like colors they jut make the world a beautiful and bright place and at times that's just what we need.

So do what's acceptable and be yourself no matter what......
