What can be said to promote compassion in times of violence?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Compassion blossoms when we unleash our creative energy, turning away from glorifying violence and embracing the divine within us all."
According to Osho, compassion arises when human energy is allowed to create, not repressed to destroy. The cure for violence is to liberate creativity and love: stop glorifying soldiers and violent “heroes,” dissolve divisive boundaries, and honor artists, lovers, and sannyasins. When people participate in creating, their energies move toward the divine, and violence loses its appeal—compassion flowers naturally.
Help people make and love things instead of fight, and kindness will grow by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Channeling energy into art, work, and love reduces aggression without moralizing.
- Refusing to praise warriors and borders reshapes cultural role models toward nonviolence.
- Supporting seekers and creators builds communities where compassion becomes the norm.
