According to Osho, man keeps going because hope outwits experience: despite suffering, the mind projects a saving tomorrow, fueled by stories, ambition, and society’s praise of victory. This future-fix postpones awakening, leaving both defeat and triumph hollow. Seeing the futility of “tomorrow” and dropping ambition turns one inward, where real freedom and joy can arise now.
We keep going because we believe tomorrow will fix today, so we chase wins that don’t fill us instead of waking up now.
