According to Osho, fear is the confession of failing power: authorities panic and legislate when their grip on people—especially the intelligent and young—is slipping. Priests and politicians fear open skies, so they build new prisons and bans. Genuine strength welcomes dialogue; only insecure power hides, prohibits, and conspires—revealing it is already losing.
When rulers act scared and try to block or ban, it’s because they feel they’re losing control.
