No, wanting to be accepted is not bad at all but does it matter why one is being
accepted?
Perhaps the question is: Once one knows some of the reasons (or conditions) for
acceptance by the "less-enlighted majority", how much does one desire or need
such an acceptance?
It may be that the underlying need which shapes one's desire for  acceptance is 
not fulfilled by the acceptance offered by many people. Then what? Will their
acceptance benefit you or hurt you in the long run?
