What is the distinction between good and bad, and should a person judge it for themselves?

Good is what brings you inner rest and joy in the present; bad is what keeps you chasing more and breeds suffering. Trust your own experience to discern between the two.

— Osho
According to Osho, good is whatever brings immediate inner rest, a felt sense of “enough, here”; bad is whatever keeps the mind chasing “more” and produces suffering now. You cannot reliably judge by others’ pain or future outcomes—only by your present experience. Therefore each person must judge directly: choose what gives living joy and repose, drop what breeds compulsion and unease.

Notice what makes you peaceful right now and what makes you restless right now, and let that guide you.
