99: Accept and Resist

When we encounter something not good, some people say we should:
1. Accept and not to resist.
2. Not accept and resist

If we repeatedly Accept and not to Resist, we may:
1. Accept and Accept for every time
2. Lose the consciousness to resist

If we repeatedly Not accept and Resist, we may also:
1. Not to accept in every time
2. Become a habit to Resist

Clearly, both are not desirable. The first kind will become a sheep, always say yes and lose that kind of fire and drive to resist, and get used to feel depressed – always think for people first but leave personal feeling to a lower ranking. The second kind will become a crocodile, always bite and not to think about why, and will become selfish – always need people to accommodate and surrender.

By experience, sometimes you really have to accept but of course sometimes you must resist. Accept whatever reasonable. Resist whatever non-sense. More tactful is to ‘First Accept and then Resist’.
