What should be our attitude toward our family?

practice
"Love arises naturally in the living bond of family; when it fades, embrace the truth and let go of expectations, for clarity is the path to freedom."
According to Osho, there is no 'should' about family; when the living bond of mother, father, child exists, the right attitude arises naturally as love. If it has faded, don't pretend—speak the truth, accept that only duty remains, and clear away expectations. Keep every relationship transparent and current, allowing it to change, end, or rekindle without hypocrisy; clarity prevents webs of frustration and burden.
Don’t follow a rulebook with family—either let real love guide you, or if it’s gone, be honest, do your duty, and stop pretending.
Why this matters practically
- Lowers conflict by clearing false expectations.
- Replaces guilt and acting with simple, truthful duty.
- Makes room for real love to return—or for peaceful distance.
