Eckhart Tolle, a spiritual teacher who is alive today, defines acceptance as a "this is it" response to anything occurring in any moment of life.[citation needed] There, strength, peace and serenity are available when one stops struggling to resist, or hang on tightly to what is so in any given moment. Self-acceptance[edit] Main article: Self-acceptance Social acceptance[edit] Social acceptance can be defined as tolerating the differences and diversity in others because most people attempt to look and act like others do in order to fit in.[citation needed] A person has been made an offer that they are willing to agree on as long as some changes are made in its terms or that some conditions or event occurs gives conditional acceptance. They accept the terms without any changes. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9301.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9301.txt
