Acceptance=Love=Truth=Peace=Joy
Need I say more? Well for the uneducated, I will elaborate.
ACCEPTANCE for reality as it is without predilection will give you TRUTH. If you accept things for what they are then, naturally, you LOVE them unconditionally. If you accept things for what they are then you are internally at PEACE with the external. If you accept things for what they are and therefore love them unconditionally, then you are happy with them, or JOYful. If you are happy with how things are then you are at PEACE. If you are at peace, then that means that you have accepted reality for what it is and are not fighting it or fighting to make it what you want it to be and therefore, you are observing it for what it is which is TRUTH. If truth is peace, then peace is joy which is also love which is also acceptance which is also joy which is also truth etc. etc. etc. I could go on forever, but now, hopefully, you can see how these are all interrelated and so closely, in fact, that they can hardly be seen to be much different at all.
There you have it. The divine mindset of the benevolent, universal creator.

So to sum up your entire post in one word. The universal truth is....

Nah, see that's where you missed the point. The trick is to accept things for what they are without thinking they are anything. Thus, you have no conceptual take on it. Thus there is nothing that is filtering your experience. Thus you are seeing things for what they really are.
Your conceptual take on things is purely your ego.

One day you will realize how wrong you are!!
Everything IS already.
Why is there any need for logic?
Logic is what humans do to try to understand or find the truth.
The truth IS.
It is a shame you can not accept THIS.
Maybe you could define you idea on what logic is. Please don't say Logic=Love.
Explain your logic on what logic is.

One's conceptual take on things appears to kNot only be Ego, but Attachment as well, but Ego is involved.
If you accept something, without Understanding WHY it is happening, then you are blindly accepting it and that is kNot how to dew it right. You should first figure out why it's happening and then you can accept it because you Understand why it's happening.

Well guess what, it is happening anyway. There's nothing you can do about it. So accept it, because, otherwise, you won't be at peace with it. You don't need to know why things happen for you to be at peace with them, you only need to accept them. Because you will never find a satisfying answer to why your mom was murdered, so you will never be at peace by trying to find peace through logic. All you can do for peace in that situation is to accept it. So not only is acceptance truth, acceptance is peace as well.
You feel me? If not, you're just being illogical.
