outcome
"Injustice is a dance between the urge to dominate and the desire to be dominated; true liberation comes when awareness dissolves these hidden invitations."
According to Osho, what we call injustice is a meeting of two hidden tendencies: the urge to dominate and the pull to be dominated. A slap is only half the story; the other half is the victim’s unconscious attraction to be slapped. Master and slave fit like plug and socket. When awareness dissolves these inner invitations, the cycle of inflicting and enduring suffering ends and true mastery arises.
Hurt happens when someone who wants to hit meets someone who, without knowing it, invites the hit; seeing this in yourself ends the game.
