Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Openly expressing love is a rebellion against a society that shames affection while tolerating aggression; it is a call to transform our world from violence to warmth and connection."
According to Osho, openly expressed, consensual love is nobody's business and only offends the sexually repressed; it exposes social hypocrisy, provokes jealousy and fear as buried desires surface, and challenges a culture of control that tolerates aggression but shames affection. He urges creating a hugging, kissing climate to reconnect with the body’s warmth, heal repression, and redirect society from violence to love.
Showing gentle, consensual love in public bothers repressed people because it wakes their hidden desires, but it also helps society become warmer and less violent.

- Normalizes consent-based affection and bodily warmth.
