According to Osho, allowing authentic laughter cracks the mask society forces on you and reconnects you with your natural, uncontrollable being. Real laughter is rebellion against the phony world of false smiles, money and success; it dissolves pretension, ends compromise, and lets your individuality flower. In its innocence you taste freedom, love and meditation’s joy—states society fears because they cannot be exploited or controlled.
When you truly laugh, you stop pretending and feel free, real, and alive.
