According to Osho, martyrdom is not holiness but disguised suicide: the urge to die exploiting others to complete your self-destruction. Driven by the death instinct and wounded ego, martyrs engineer their own killing while making others responsible. When one is content, both life- and death-drives vanish; then there’s no desire to live, die, or become a martyr.
Martyrdom means secretly wanting to die and getting others to do it for you; real happiness ends both the wish to live forever and the wish to die.
