Will Power

"Why can't others see what I see?..or..This is how they should be."

The urge is to try and structure others to conform to our own needs (grope the self), whereas the practice of acceptance would instead be the best approach.

Hence the calls to "wake up" in a certain prejudicial format that conforms to ideals and vague suspicions of the personal unconscious. If you promote consciousness through exclusion, you will only wind up facing what was excluded in an unconscious manner at some later point. Dealing with things unconsciously is what promotes 'suffering'.

If you take a look at acceptance, it actually provides more 'space' or more freedom all around - that's more opportunity.
