They are something. They are nothing or the absence of something. Rejection is nothing, merely the absence of approval. Cold is the lack of heat. No heat yet.
Rejection is no approval.
Have not accepted you yet. 300 million people have not accepted you yet. When people accept you, they hope you accept them. You too can accept and maintain only a very few relationships. If you re normal, you can accept and maintain only a few people as friends and others can really accept only a few.
