According to Osho, the pull toward the new isn’t a timeless human necessity but the signature of youthfulness—the future coursing in one’s veins. The young are inwardly restless, creatively dissatisfied, and thus magnetized to new dimensions; the old cling to the familiar past. This discontent is a healthy sign of life-energy, propelling exploration and growth.
Wanting new things isn’t for everyone all the time—it’s the lively, restless energy of being young, while older people often prefer what they already know.
