Is it possible for society to immerse itself in celebration when a majority suffers from poverty?

Celebration is not hindered by poverty, but by our misplaced priorities; when we awaken individually, we create the possibility for a truly celebrative society.

— Osho
According to Osho, celebration is the heart of religion and not blocked by poverty but by misplaced priorities, laziness, and borrowed worries about 'the whole society.' People already spend ample time on trivia, riots, and rituals; they can redirect that energy to song, dance, and awareness. Begin with your own awakening—first attain, then talk—because individual transformation, not collective lamenting, opens the door to a celebrative society.

Yes—people have time; stop using poverty as an excuse, start celebrating and awakening yourself, and change will ripple outward.
