ACCEPTANCE - THROUGH THE ANALOGY OF A BOX OF CHOCOLATES

There is a subtle difference in being jaded /indifferent and in being truly all-accepting!

In indifference nothing matters… in acceptance everything is fine... embraced!

So both states of being …in layman dialogue…will use the same words … "how does it/x matter"…'nothing matters" etc! But they come from two different ends of the continuum: One in pure acceptance of everything and the other from rejecting everything! In acceptance the ‘nothing matters’ is because... everything is fine. In indifference and inertia the ‘nothing matters’ is because nothing is ok!

In analogy: It’s like choosing a chocolate from a box of different centered chocolates. Acceptance is like a having box of all your favorite flavored chocolates...and when you say it doesn’t matter which chocolate you get...its not because you are indifferent but because you truly like them all!!! Indifference is like viewing a box in which you like none of them- and when you say it doesn’t matter which chocolate you get -it’s because you reject all!!
