That's humility. Or wisdom. Maturity. Part of the process of humility is not just accepting things but seeing how fear runs most everything because it's based in protective/proactive security, that goes too far, and you're not "little" as in unimportant or tiny, and humility really kicks in when objectivity is arrived at, and the struggles for wealth, social coherance, self appreciation, are all seen as pointless worry and ineffective; the makings of douchebags.
