Is the chaos occurring today different from that of other times?

Every era believes its chaos is unique, but in truth, life is either always ordinary or always extraordinary; drop the illusions of specialness and return to the essence of your being.

— Osho
According to Osho, today’s chaos isn’t essentially different; every era imagines itself uniquely tumultuous—that’s the ego of the age seeking specialness. Life is either always ordinary or always extraordinary; without contrast, claims of uniqueness are empty. Drop the props (nation, religion, era), and anxiety subsides as ego collapses; attention returns to inner awareness, not historical drama.

People always think their time is the craziest—that’s ego; stop needing your era to be special and look within.
