Accepting yourself

Watching the shows about people who are different from the rest (here and here) has set me thinking about why is it that society is so harsh on those who are different. Why is society so unaccepting of those who are different?

But I think the same shows taught me that in order for others to accept you, the most important thing is for you to be able to accept yourself for who you are. Only when you can look yourself in the mirror and not feel ashamed, can you then be able to face up to the rest of the world and ask to be accepted.

After all, if you yourself cannot accept you, why should the rest of society?
