Acceptance or control

To accept is be satisfied with what you have, without being satisfied. It is a denial of desire, but also a desire to deny yourself something. To accept yourself is an active will to be strong in your self. To be king in yourself, without mastering or controll. To accept your feeling is to act with them, it is not to solve the feelings. To accept others are to meet other without assessment or evaluation. Assessment or evaluation is not part of a helping relationship, it is a will to controll others. Accept and sophrosyne is the ground of becoming good. This is as close as possible to freedom as the opposite of control. To accept is letting go of the desire to control.
