'''Acceptance''' usually refers to cases where a [[person]] [[experience]]s a situation or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it, protest, or exit. The term is used in [[spirituality]], in Eastern religious [[concepts]] such as Buddhist [[mindfulness]], and in [[psychology]]. Religions and psychological treatments often suggest the path of acceptance when a situation is both disliked and unchangeable, or when change may be possible only at great cost or risk. Acceptance may imply only a lack of outward, [[behavior]]al attempts at possible change, but the [[word]] is also used more specifically for a felt or hypothesized [[cognitive]] or [[emotion]]al [[state]]. Acceptance is a key for all [[family]] members, because it lets one feel accepted. Thus someone may decide to take no [[action]] against a situation and yet be said to have not accepted it. | '''Acceptance''' usually refers to cases where a [[person]] [[experience]]s a situation or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it, protest, or exit.
