What is the theory of relativity?

Nothing has meaning by itself; all experiences are relative, shaped by context and contrast, inviting us to embrace flexibility and compassion.

— Osho
According to Osho, the theory of relativitybeyond physicsmeans nothing has meaning by itself: all judgments of weight, time, pleasure or pain exist only in relation to a context or contrast. Sit on a hot stove and a minute is an hour; sit with your beloved and an hour is a minute. Seeing this, we drop absolute claims and become more aware, flexible, and compassionate.

Things only feel long or short, heavy or light, good or bad when you compare them to something else.
