Acceptance.

People try, so hard to be accepted by society.
Probably because most people are afraid of being alone, which in truth, is pretty scary.
But in truth, acceptance in itself can be dangerous.

How will people view me? How can I best portray who I am to the world? Or not. Because of judgment. Because of fear. Wanting to hide, run, shy away from the world, or jump naked before the eyes of millions in a breathless, thoughtless action of hope.

Or even worse, trying to stand out when countless others stand up as well, in a never-ending race to achieve 'unique'.

And then you stop. And ask why did I start this race? This side-marathon. Youtube is ultimate proof of this. Outdoing one another. Doing more and more crazy things. All for acceptance.

Everyone has low self esteems, I think. We cannot choose to accept ourselves, so we look for others to accept us. Supernatural beings even, such as religion. Anything, anyone, imaginary or not to accept and love us for who we are no matter what we do.

And acceptance, well. Is it so bad?
