According to Osho, trust and fatalism only look alike; in truth they are opposites. Fatalism is a consolation and an alibi: the belief that everything is predetermined, so your failure isn’t your responsibility, which breeds passivity. Trust is a conscious, joyful alignment with existence—accepting what comes while remaining alert, responsible, and creative. Trust empowers action; fate excuses inaction and resentment.
Fatalism says “it’s all fixed, so give up,” while trust says “life is wise—say yes, stay awake, and do your best.”
