This doesn't mean accepting ones beliefs or necessarily agreeing but just being open and not judgmental. What could this look start to look like?

From paragraph 2 the author states "look at you. still growing after being picked and plucked and prodded out of your home." Especially right now we can not give up and continue on with life.
