Isn't Acceptance and Adjustment the right way to happiness?

In the world, we fight and fight to change others to our way. We argue and use force but think how many have we succeeded in changing to our way.
Our life mate, our room mate, our neighbor is a different person, with different upbringing and different thought patterns.
Compelling others to think and ourselves will cause tensions. Accepting others as they are and adjusting with situations can bring us happiness.
Have you found this to be true in your life or have you any other opinion?

Most of the time people don't know there are classes. Different person act, talk and even walk in different ways, but there are others do similar but first its through only by gods grace these persons can be together. Acting and adjusting on the way others want is not all acceptable for me. I don't say others should follow my way it should be on the natural way I guess.

Acceptance and adjustment can create conditions for happiness to better be felt in, but by themselves, they will not lead to true happiness either.
This is because happiness is not based on acceptance either.
We love, and we love, and acceptance can be a part of loving, but really the acceptance is only a first step to understanding, and happiness must sit within us without any conditions to its sitting, not even the accepting of it, nor anything else besides.
Happiness is a field around our love loving, and when we love as God loves, we are happy.
No acceptance or adjustment is necessary to one who is just loving.
Acceptance and adjustment are more mind considerations to bring us more peace of mind, but loving, real loving, is something else again, and need not involve the mind's input at all.
