In accepting one may not ever be fully accepted is freeing of expectations. Meanwhile acceptance of the Self with out expectations is freeing. Is what I did during my stay in Spain. To my surprize I was accepted into the fold and hearts of the Spanish.

Honestly, this is the key. And remained that way. Expectations can bring pain. Acceptance frees you, is liberating. This way, if one is not ever accepted, they are not ever hurt. If they push their way onto others or resists, they’ll get hurt.

I’m all for people to be pain free. They have to do this for thes selves for their sake and only if they want to.

This applies to familys too. The egos and dramas created from, for example, competition. There is no competition! But if created, smile, love them and stay on the sidelines so you don’t get drawn out of superficial need of their definition of acceptance.
