According to Osho, we avoid "just being" because life is a play of polarities: silence shines only against the noise, stillness gains meaning from movement. Drop the game and you soon feel bored; the mind clings to one pole and resists the other. Maturity is to see the opposites as complementary, accept both fully, and in that total acceptance, effortlessly transcend.
Silence feels special because there’s also noise; by welcoming both, you stop fighting life and find peace.
