Acceptance can be the representation of great strength that has succeeded in finding a balance between stability and contentment, and insanity and unhappiness.
It can help us get to a place where we can finally let go of pain and suffering. Even when intense negativity still must be present, we can still get to a place of acceptance, where we are better able to handle it.

Acceptance
Acceptance can harness much more strength when it is not just a tool, but a trait.
The refusal to accept reality puts together a portrayal of a battle that seems to repeat every single day. In contrast, radical acceptance can be a good escape out of that battle. It involves accepting the reality around us for what it is.
Accepting reality
The more we battle with reality, the more difficult accepting it will be. Accepting reality is a solid method to reduce suffering, whether emotional, mental, or physical pain.
We can't change anything we don't have control over. However, we can change things that are reasonably within our reach.

The most useful learning
The most useful learning isn’t usually a strict addition of new knowledge, but first unlearning something false or unhelpful.
Types of Unlearning

- The new knowledge revises a simpler picture by filling it with more complex details. This is similar to adding new knowledge, although because the older, simpler view of the issue has been overwritten with more detail, there is some unlearning going on.

Forgiveness is a process
Forgiveness takes time for most. Shock and anger often come before forgiveness. Deal with the hurt feelings before moving into forgiveness.
The act of forgiving is one of realizing that holding onto the anger and resentment no longer carries the same weight on us.
Forgiveness ≠ weakness
One roadblock people face with forgiveness is the idea of being seen as "weak" and saying that what the offender did is excusable.
It requires more strength to forgive. Staying angry, resentful, and vengeful can have a detrimental impact on your physical and emotional health as well as your relationships.
