the moment you stop arguing with reality and reality finally stops winning.

means The act of receiving something offered, or of agreeing to or coming to terms with a fact, situation, or condition.

from From Latin 'acceptare,' a frequentative of 'accipere' — to receive or take to oneself — built from 'ad-' (to, toward) and 'capere' (to take, to seize), the same grasping root behind 'capture' and 'capable.' It traveled through Old French 'accepter' into English in the late Middle Ages, softening over centuries from the simple act of taking something into the quieter, more inward sense of taking something as it is.
