Acceptance & Awareness
Friday, June 23, 2017 | 0 comments
Hello everyone! My latest post is about self-improvement,
which is also related to today’s post. Today, I am going to talk on acceptance
and awareness.
First of all, awareness is defined as showing realization, perception or knowledge (Merriam-Webster,
n.d.).
According Kassiane (2012), she defined awareness as something that creates a sense of urgency and fear. Awareness operates in stereotypes and soundbites, not real people. Awareness has no substance; it is but a tool to earn more money to fix people and to promote yet more awareness.
Let me ask you, how do awareness connect with acceptance?
Before you accept, you need to be aware. Basically,
awareness is the first stage you have to go through before acceptance.
Awareness is easy, but acceptance is hard.
Somehow, people cannot even go through the phase of
acceptance because they are stuck in the awareness phase.
Okay, consider this as a situation: we live in a world that demands people to be perfect. This is what
we have to be aware of. (This can be linked with stereotypes and double
standard, but I will explain about this later.)
But what do we need to accept? People can never be perfect, this is what we have to accept.
As you can see, you need to be aware first. Only by then,
you can accept something. It is somehow contradicting, but it makes sense with
each other.
That’s all for now. Later, people!
Much love,
Farzana
