What is the cause of frustration in the world?

Frustration is born from expectation; when you drop your demands and embrace love and action as a play, fulfillment and bliss naturally arise.

— Osho
According to Osho, the root cause of the world’s frustration is expectation. Frustration is only a byproduct—the shadow that follows wanting results from love, work, spirituality, or others. When we bargain, demand returns, or impose ideals, we kill freshness and create bondage. Drop expectations, act and love as play and ends-in-themselves; then fulfillment, bliss, and effortless responses arise.

We get frustrated because we expect payoffs; if we stop demanding and just love and act freely, frustration fades.
