According to Osho, prefer solitude if you like, but don’t turn it into a rigid creed. A little playful mixing—'joking around'—keeps your waters flowing, teaches you new 'jokes,' and prevents the dullness of sameness. You can’t 'joke' alone; life thrives on reciprocal, colorful encounters. Be contemporary: meet a few people lightly, enjoy variety, then return to aloneness refreshed rather than isolated.
Say yes to a bit of friendly time with others now and then to stay fresh, then enjoy your quiet again.
