Thank You for your reply, Dear Yera.
I was not going to answer further, as I felt I didn't had anything to add to your Words, but your post made me thinking a lot, and I decided to emphasize some of your statements:
You've captured so much in this (seemingly) simply sentence. When I tried to translate it into my life, I saw how profound and very hard it is to accomplish such perspective/awareness, and to maintain it.
I'm not sure how to express it in words, but those Words triggered something in me and made me understand how important it really is. "Funny" thing is, that I knew that before, but You attached proper weight to it within me.
I will be more conscious in that regard from now on. Thank You.
This is very interesting for me as well. Within bolded statement, I've reached only to point "I explore to understand". I've never thought of acceptance nor about love in this context. In fact, my attitude may be translated into statement: "I explore to understand, I understand to explore". You really gave me something to think about - that's the reason I've came back here and now replying to your post.
I fully agree and I do think, that despite obviousness, this is not “classic” two-poles (STS vs STO) situation. It is about very sophisticated journey and being open to everything that within You - without looking whether or not We are oriented toward Service to Others or Self. In wider perspective it really doesn't matter - what matters, is to make genuine choices, that are/will be dictated by what resides within a Being - without looking at what in Our opinion "should be". Because this beliefs what "should be" is a way of suppressing Self, when One is turning to it at every decision One makes.
Also, I don't think that You derailed your own topic - I think that You just haven't thought it may lead You/Us to this point of discussion. And it is a Good point, that shows how unexpected is the nature of such Seekings/Understanding.
All I have Best in me for You

I explore to understand, I understand to accept, I accept to Love and I Love because I have determined Love to be the undeniably natural state of my being and the universe. Thus far, I cannot perceive any truth that brings me more joy and inner clarity, and so with all my heart I try to choose to see the Love in all things, even those things in the world, and especially in myself, which seem most unloving.

My only real qualm with the concept is that "STS" and "STO" quickly turn into a stereotyped set of behaviors, and true self-expression is not possible via conforming to a stereotype out of the fear of "not making it." Do it for your Self, not the fourth dimensional cookie.
I've perhaps derailed my own topic...whoopsie.
