This song means a lot to me... it gives me a range of different emotions. On one hand, it is a song about accepting yourself, just as the title suggests. But the story of the man that won't accept himself is more important.
When he says "Who and what do blame?", it shows how people react to failure. Maybe not everyone asks themselves this question directly, but in a way they do.
The next important statement is "Anything is hard to find when you will not open your eyes". Morrissey is telling us and him that the answer to his problems is right in front of him. He needs to simply accept himself and move on.
The most impressive thing about this song is how Morrissey puts such grand issues so simply.
