What is the root source of terrorism and its impact on humanity?

Terrorism is born from humanity's refusal to confront its own madness, and healing begins only when we acknowledge our inner sickness and restore the natural balance within.

— Osho
According to Osho, terrorism’s root is humanity’s long-standing inner sickness: the crowd’s refusal to admit its derangement and its worship of unnatural, extreme ideals. Glorified excess breeds changing forms of madness and terror, even destroying healing voices like Socrates and Jesus. Its impact is a pervasive climate of fear, imitation of pathology, and collective imbalance; health begins by admitting unhealth and restoring natural balance.

When we deny our inner sickness and idolize extreme, unnatural behavior, madness spreads as fear and violence; peace starts by honestly seeing we’re unwell and living in simple balance.
