Acceptance

"Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and there's nothing I can to about it."

My friend was talking about acceptance. It's easy to accept natural laws; we have no choice. Then why do we struggle to change the behavioral set point of others? We think they should be different. We know they could choose better behavior. We're angry or disappointed when they don't behave as we would like.

Just for today, grant us the peace of acceptance.
