I had a lightbulb moment reading this. "Acceptance," in Western culture, seems to be associated with resignation -- this perspective is far more empowering. I'm wondering if this is the missing link (or part of it) between being detached and taking needed action in response to unfair or negative things. This type of acceptance is a way of regulating our minds and keep us from becoming angry in ways that are unproductive.
These are thoughts off the top of my head, so feel free to clarify if I missed the mark on any of this.
