Whenever You Try To Work Through The Things That We're Trying To Work Through, That We're Addressing, It Ends Up Looking Negative. Our Goal Is Nonjudgment, Nonfiltered Acceptance Of Everything.

It's Cancerous. The Goal Should Be To Define Acceptance For Everything. To Try And Consider Every Aspect. To Try To Look Into The Shadows, As Well As The Light.
