First Law of Acceptance(up for revision)

I think, in my efforts to get this off the ground, that I need to set a few rules to live by, if one is going to adhere to Acceptance Theory. So, as I think of them, and revise them, they will appear here. This first one seems simple enough.

1- Accept that other people will not be accepting.

Pretty straightforward. Every human being has their preconceived notions, and then on those notions, experiences which shape their opinions. This law simply states that to being accepting, people must set aside their own prejudices/vices and reach out to accept others, knowing that the recipient of their acceptance may not respond in kind. Patience is key here.
