definition
"Never confuse a nation's institutions with its people; the heart of society often beats with love and clarity, waiting to be discovered beyond the labels and headlines."
According to Osho, never mistake a nation’s institutions for its people: power systems may persecute, yet ordinary individuals can meet you with love and clarity. Judge by your living contact, not by labels or headlines. Distinguishing society’s heart from its bureaucracy prevents resentment, reveals the truth of a culture, and turns suffering into a bridge of understanding.
Don’t blame a whole people for what a few officials do—meet real people and see for yourself.
