According to Osho, our paramount ambition is to be accepted and respected by others. To secure love, approval, and cooperation, we conform, suppress inconvenient questions, and trade living wonder for a socially approved ego. Approval-seeking trains us to avoid rebellion and inquiry, so curiosity withers; humility—admitting 'I don’t know'—protects wonder from this compulsion.
We give up asking and wondering so people will like and accept us.
