Resignation and acceptance are not synonymous.
Resignation to one's life circumstances is a victim's excuse--a coward's temptation. Resignation is made for ever and in all ways.
Acceptance is not passive. Acceptance is an act--a lifelong commitment to act each day. Acceptance is not without anger....frustration...hopelessness. Acceptance is not a singular act. The only singular facet of acceptance is its lifelong nature.
Resignation to one's life circumstances is wrought with a commitment to despair--to the perfection of despair's artform. Resignation is an absolute.
Seeking absolution--being released from one's life circumstances--is a mortal sin. This Absolution is equivalent to seeking separation from God. This Absolution is a Capital Offense.
Resignation is tempting. Yet, resignation must be resisted. With our will, we must seek deliverance from resignation's temptation.
Acceptance may not be willed. Dispatch is not her speed. Acceptance of one's life circumstances is not an achievement. Acceptance demands partnership--faithful engagement with accommodation.
One's life circumstances sculpt the form of one's accommodations. Similarly, one's accommodations are one's life engravings marking one's journey.
Resignation is a victim's trophy. Resignation is trumpeted for all to mourn. No resignation should be accepted by friends...Such acceptance is tantamount to abetting the victim's crime.
Acceptance is a sculpting--not a sculpture, but a lifelong sculpting. Acceptance is to be a celebration--not heraldry to be borne.
