definition
"The true rebel knows that life is fleeting and death is inevitable, and from this awareness springs a fearless spirit that transforms rebellion into a joyous celebration of freedom."
According to Osho, the true rebel's secret is an 'open secret': a clear seeing that life is momentary and death certain. From this awareness arises fearlessness and non-compromise, a playful, creative spirit that can even destroy only to create, no resentment, a sense of humor that laughs at opposition, turning rebellion into joyous, non-serious, life-affirming freedom.
Know life is short and death is sure, so don't be scared or bitter; play, create, laugh, and live your truth without compromise.
