According to Osho, problems arise not from “subversive thoughts” but from societies that fear thinking. All real thinking is subversive—it doubts, questions authority and dogma—so conformist systems brand it dangerous and persecute thinkers (Jesus, Socrates, Galileo, Buddha). Yet only such subversion births progress and true humanity. Countries in conflict with thinkers reveal their own insecurity; the issue is repression of reason, not the thinkers’ harm.
Real thinking questions bad rules; frightened authorities call that trouble, but this courage to question is what makes life better.
