OLD: Acceptance is a cognitive activity or state that is the opposite of resistance.
It's only the spiritual/psychology sense that's being dealt with here.
I think "activity or state" is good, but it's not much help defining one vague, tricky term as the opposite of another. I feel the antonymic sense of resistance should be noted with reservations.
I deleted the paragraph contrasting acceptance with approval, sympathy, liking , tolerance , and affinity. Of these, I think only tolerance is worth the space, but the deleted text did little to distinguish among these senses. Perhaps also surrender and resignation could be included in a discussion of overlapping terms?

WRT the last comment above...
...does anyone else find the last paragraph in this articel suspicious? It sounds strange to me... 68.39.174.238 17:57, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Interesting that no mention of forgiveness as related to acceptance is offered as either an associated emotion, or as an associated meaning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.201.224.2 (talk) 20:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Something seems off about the "grief acceptance" section...
