These are all good points. What prompted this thread was some comments made in another thread.
How do we accept another entity who is engaging in actions that conflict with our STO path? If those actions are actions that we wouldn't choose...because they would be depolarizing for us...must we accept the other person's actions, in order to accept them?
For example, if a man is about to kill another man, and we witness it, we would try to stop him if we can, right? Or do we just stand idly by and watch him commit this act of violence?
If he is negatively polarized, then his action is likely appropriate for him. But not for us.
What is acceptance of his action? If we try to stop his action, in order to remain true to our own polarity, then we aren't accepting it, are we? But we can accept him, without accepting his action.
Hmmm....interesting definition. I'll have to ponder that.
I'd say the paths are very clearly defined. It's the actual polarity that isn't. An entity can choose either path, but still have percentages of the opposite polarity. In fact, it's the percentage of polarity that determines the choice. Regardless of what we might think we've chosen, the actual choice is determined by our percentage of polarity.
I just read this after I posted my last comment. I think we're saying the same thing!

I don't mean that STO accepts killing, but they must accept the killer. Otherwise, there is not love.
Thank you for making that distinction!
acceptance of another's choice of murder, is acceptance of another's choice of murder. its not sto. its acceptance of a sts act.
acceptance of ANOTHER, despite its choice of murder, is what is sto.
That is exactly what I intended to convey but didn't. Thank for for the further refinement!

One does not accept another unless they accept the choices of an other.
Frankly, we are all choices.
