outcome
"The true danger lies not in unrestrained relationships, but in the repression and possessiveness that turn love into ownership; only through openness and respect can we cultivate genuine decency."
According to Osho, society goes wrong not through 'unrestrained' relating but through repression, possessiveness, and turning women into property. He rejects marriage-as-ownership and moralistic taboos that call even looking a sin. Openness, gratitude for beauty, and relating as free, conscious beings create decency; veils and fear breed perversion. The issue isn’t numbers or rules, but awareness and respect in human contact.
He says the problem isn’t too much love, it’s fear and treating people like things—be open, aware, and respectful.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces jealousy and hypocrisy by replacing ownership with mutual respect.
- Encourages healthier, safer interactions through openness instead of repression.
