What does it mean to carry other people's wounds?

Drop the borrowed suffering of others; your true self is not defined by their wounds, but by the joy you choose to celebrate.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
You’re hauling pain and guilt that came from others and old leftover memories, not from the real you—and you can set it down.
Why this matters practically
- Recognize and disidentify from borrowed guilt and misery.
- Stop rewarding misery with sympathy; nourish joy in yourself and others.
- Use awareness and celebration to dissolve inherited mental residues.
