Migraine, A Lounge Suite, Accept This!

Studying tonight for exams. Have a sore eye and a migraine. Found a complete lounge room sofa set tonight on the other side of our street that was thrown out for garbage collection. Decided to take it (heavy!) and hoped the people in that house wouldn't see me doing it!
Studying for exams. Thinking about acceptance. Acceptance is totalitarian! In making sure everyone is 'accepted' in our society we conform to a certain set of values that are restrictive and enforced 'religiously'. The example that comes up in my mind is Christianity of course. Being a Christian is certainly not the same as being of a 'religion'. Yet it is confined to that general sweeping 'category', and boxed with all the others into one. Hmmm...
Christianity is far more accepting than the world's acceptance because it accepts diversity and difference - after all, God has lived with diversity eternally within himself! (can you guess what topic I am studying at the moment!!) Any thoughts on this?
Where do you think the picture is taken?
