According to Osho, violence is a fact of nature at the animal level, but for humans it is acquired—like dust from our evolutionary past—not our true nature. Humanity begins with choice: we can drop violence and grow into nonviolence, which is our essential potential. Violence is optional and discardable; nonviolence is attainable and, once realized, inseparable from our fulfilled humanity.
Violence is like road dust from our animal past, but as humans we can choose to brush it off and be gentle.
