Quote by Albert Ellis

Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she

Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between acceptance and love. Love is rooted in admiration for a person's admirable qualities, while acceptance is a broader perspective that extends to all individuals simply because they are alive and human. It suggests that love is selective and dependent on specific traits, while acceptance goes beyond personal preference, embracing the inherent value and existence of every individual. In essence, love is more conditional, while acceptance is unconditional and inclusive.
