Acceptance Does Not Mean

Another way of saying, you stop fooling yourself?
You realize there's no way to know how things will turn out.
That we are living in a world of uncertainty.
It means staying open to every possibility.

Recognizing we have agency and can influence our world
with ripples of goodness gathering force with others doing the same.
Doesn't human heart power outweigh 
the manipulative power of propaganda through technology?

This brings to mind Rebecca Solnit's words of hope.
"“Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act. When you recognize uncertainty, you recognize that you may be able to influence the outcomes–you alone or you in concert with a few dozen or several million others. Hope is an embrace of the unknown and knowable, an alternative to the certainty of both optimists and pessimists. 

 I'm loving the idea of a concert with several million/billion others.
Namaste'
