Authenticity, self-realization, self-actualization, self-honesty, self-respect, self-love are the hallmarks of self-acceptance. What else can we be but our authentic selves lest we opt for some caricature of our very own nature. Being real is the only task in life, otherwise you have thrown your life away. Gotta Be Real is the Sign of the Times. Be Real or Be Useless - That's our individual choice. And - it's a lot easier to be our Selves than any other construction we can come up with, no matter how sophisticated.
