I've thought about it all evening, and I respectfully disagree. Does our finding interest in few things in the world relative to what there is mean we are rejecting the rest? It's not active rejection, so how can it be a verb? And why should it make us feel better to believe acceptance is a rarity? Acceptance or rejection of people is really the issue, and it's the acceptance of all people that's the catch phrase. I believe I accept and am accepted by most people around me already, and it feels very good to think so.

And I think rejection's personal for both people. It's just hard to remember that we ourselves might like someone we don't want to date, respect someone we don't want to work with, and that people need different things from love; when confronted with throbbing inadequacy, amaranthine loneliness, or having your heart splattered all over the bed.
