People often see only what they want to see, rather than considering circumstances, especially those that can not be changed, as satisfactory. However, some minority groups describe their goal as "acceptance", meaning that the majority will not challenge the minority's full participation in society.
Notions of acceptance are prominent in many faiths and meditation practices. For example, Buddhism's first noble truth, "life is suffering", invites people to accept that suffering is a natural part of life.
