"Drop the slavery to others’ judgments; their opinions are merely passing shadows that hold no real power over your being. Live from your own awareness and grant yourself the freedom to be."
According to Osho, drop the slavery to others’ judgments: everyone is mutually afraid, so chasing approval only breeds more fear and retaliation. Even if people think badly, what real harm occurs? Their opinions are passing shadows. Live naturally, grant yourself and others freedom, act from your own awareness, and the fear of criticism dissolves.
People will think what they think; it can’t really hurt you—be yourself and let them be.
