According to Osho, compromising shows your 'rebellion' was ego-driven reaction, not a search for truth. When the ego grows strong through struggle, it chooses convenience, manages life through deals, and the purity of rebellion dies. A true rebel never compromises—would accept death over betrayal—because truth cannot mix with lies, and a taste of truth makes one fearless of death.
If you start making deals, you weren’t truly rebelling—you were just feeding your ego; real rebellion follows truth and never bargains.
