What should I do after losing hope in life due to unrequited love?

Rejection can be a blessing; it is your attachment and imagination that create misery, so drop the clinging, find the humor, and turn inward to regain your lightness.

— Osho
According to Osho, don’t drown in despair over unrequited love; meditate on the story and see its humor: the one rejected suffers less than the one who “got” her. Your misery is attachment and imagination. Drop clinging, gain perspective, and laugh—rejection can be a blessing. Turn inward, regain lightness, and move on.

If someone doesn’t love you back, smile, see you might be lucky, stop holding on, and look inside yourself to feel okay again.
