How can you accept your darknesses when that would mean the very bad things would be even more apart of u?

I've addressed all aspects of myself, and it's only from doing that, that I was able to see where I needed to change, and appreciate that change was only possible through truth and acknowledgment of the entire picture which is me. Although I have a darker side, I choose to bring out the light. Although I've walked in darkness , I'm not defined by it . There are many components that make up each individual. Nobody is all this or all that.

Apparently we need to accept our own bad points in order to unconditionally accept others. And besides, once you accept it, you are empowered to change.

I would accept having darkness as long as it's not urging me to do things I don't want to do, such as killing and raping.

my darkness is part of me already. we're friends now, i think
