Yeah! If you want something, take it!
But to a degree. Taking from other people, or hurting them, is like signing consent forms to allow the same thing to be done to you. Treat others how you honestly would like to be treated.
And I mean some acceptance is healthy.
If your 4 feet tall as an adult, I think its a good idea to accept you won't ever be accepted into the NBA.

accept what? that you speak in riddles?

"The man with the clear head is the man who frees himself from those fantastic ideas (the characterological lie about reality) and looks life in the face, realizes that everything in it is problematic, and feels lost. And this is the simple truth - that to live is to feel lost - he who accepts it has already begun to find himself, to be on firm ground. Instinctively, as do the shipwrecked, he will look round for something to which to cling, and that tragic, ruthless glance, absolutely sincere, because it is a question of his salvation, will cause him to bring order into the chaos of his life. These are the only genuine ideas; the ideas of the shipwrecked." - Ernest Becker

How is hurting someone the same thing as allowing for someone to hurt you? It seems to me that the opposite of this is true, as hurting others is usually done for some benefit on your part.

That's just my advice. I can't explain why. Go try it yourself.
Murder someone and the community will see it fit your life is taken. Steal and the community will steal your freedom.
I like it. I have an idea of why. But it will take to long to explain.

What do you mean you can't explain why? 
Why are you in a debate forum if you can't explain yourself?

from my perspective this planet is far from tiny and has everything i could want (within reason). some people say their body is a prison cell but i think most of those people are just anxious about their impending demise.

I think accepting yourself is good. I use to run away from my compassion and love, and tried to be mean and tough, but this only hurt people, my conscious, and relationships.
It is okay to be a kind, caring, and loving man. Macho is over rated.

You can be a strong man and embody your masculinity without having macho bravado. I look like I would be a douche bag type jock. I think that makes most people assume that I am, but when they talk to me, especially girls they realize that I have a tender heart and am caring. I also don't have very many interests with jocks, although I was a start athlete I am not interested in sports like watching them or caring who plays in them. I played sports because I was good at them, and that is what my parents said I had to do until I got to a certain age.
I can stand up for myself and won't let someone push me around, but I am not one to pick a fight. Although, when I was young I use to tease people a lot, because that is what my friends did, and I thought it was cool to pick on the weaker kids.

Its not really about choosing a persona its more of whats going inside will reflect outside , and acceptance does tie to this for me anyhow when i could not accept anger was my bread and butter and it worked really well in terms of dominance and getting what i wanted although you yourself know your a phoney even if you do fool the world.
'Bollocks. Nice guys finish last....until the women they are after turn 30.'
There is truth to this , like the way we are brought up in Western Culture bigger ego the better so that humble humility shit don't fly with the bitches these days they just think you are shy , and would rather you contest in the who has a bigger dick game.
I accept another word for yes

I think accepting situations can be very humble. I use to fight tooth and nail against what I didn't want to happen and instead of putting down my battle gear and accepting that this is what I ultimately have to do or risk possible unwanted consequences, I went against the grain and suffered over and over for it just to prove a point, but it just proved I was being stubborn and ignorant, because I thought my defiance proved I won, when I really only lost over and over.
I don't view settling and accepting at the same thing, and I think that is what some people have in their heads.
Settling is knowing you can change your situation to achieve a more favorable outcome, and accepting is being content with a situation that you can't control without worsening your situation potentially.

Acceptance is a white flag, and in surrender you risk being taken prisoner. Is it not better to seek a truce and maintain your independence?

I don't view accepting certain things as me giving up and surrendering, that thought process is what led me to fight what I needed to just accept and move on.
If something has to be done that I don't like, but I must do it, then I accept the fact that I must overcome the obstacle and do it in the best way possible. I then complete it with having a good mind set about it, and am glad it is over. It didn't change my views, and I didn't let it put me in a bad mood. I win twice.

i'm not sayin, i'm just sayin.... no matter what it ALWAYS leads back to acceptance. accept what you are, accept what is, accept life and death, accept everything. accept or deny. the longer one avoids acceptance, the more it hurts when the time comes to accept.
