Acceptance!!

To accept has several meanings but we will like to focus on one of them which explains the very sense of acceptance in our definition of love.
 To accept is to receive willingly, meaning it's all left for us to make the choice either to or not to. So acceptance is the act of willingly receiving someone ( as in our context) as they are. 
It doesn't matter who that person we are accepting is, no matter their background, culture, race, class, health condition and so on, Love goes a long way to receive all with a willing heart.

 We should be able to express this sense of acceptance to ourselves first, then to everyone else for we cannot accept or love others right if we don't first do so for ourselves. 
   Many of us fight with ourselves everyday trying to accept and love ourselves because we look at our situation and it looks so bad and terrible and we feel it's beyond change or repair, this usually leads to hating our own very selves and others we feel are responsible for our situation.
We have to start believing that everyone still breathing has a chance to change and be better and so we shouldn't hate ourselves or others but hate the bad things that are in us or that make us bad and so try to find a solution for them, thereby, making our lives accepted and loved.
  Until we are able to see some good in everyone then we will never be able to accept people and love them right. No matter how bad or useless someone maybe or look, there is always at least a good thing about or in them and for the fact that we all are humans from same origin we should show each other some love.
   ACCEPTANCE GIVES ROOM FOR POSITIVE CHANGE AND OF COURSE A BETTER LIFE, thereby playing a very important role in the meaning of LOVE.
