When pushed to decide, humans lean towards acceptance.

Lack of acceptance is scary – it’s terrifying.

Acceptance usually equals survival, so it makes sense.

It feels safe and comfortable because it gives us the perception of control.

If I’m accepted, I have less things to worry about being outside of my sphere of influence.

If I’m not accepted, it feels like I have people against me, which feels like chaos.

Because acceptance is so comfortable, it can quickly become the thing we’re willing to sacrifice everything for.

And what you sacrifice to, you worship.

If you’re giving up opportunities, make sure they’re on the right altar.
