Why is the world in so much misery?

outcome
"The world's misery arises from the systematic destruction of a child's natural joy, as institutions thrive on guilt and fear, turning authentic love into hollow roles."
According to Osho, the world’s misery comes from systematically ruining the child’s natural joy and love so that parasitic institutions—religions, social structures, and schools—can survive. By enforcing guilt, fear, and imitation, they create hypocritical, pretending selves cut off from reality. This continuous pretense exhausts us, replaces real love with hollow roles, and destroys the pagan, simple celebration of life.
We make kids stop being naturally happy and real so big systems can control them, and that fake living makes everyone miserable.
Why this matters practically
- Protect children’s spontaneity and love; avoid shaming, comparison, and coercion.
- Drop roles and pretenses; choose authentic feeling, play, and presence over consoling beliefs.
- Disengage from guilt-fueled institutions; live fully between birth and death.
