Osho on Why do I feel a need to protect you?

Why do I feel a need to protect you?

Your desire to protect arises from recognizing the fragility of love and truth in a world often harsh and unkind; it is a sacred reverence for the beauty that blooms amidst adversity.

— Osho
According to Osho, you feel protective because whatever is higher—love, compassion, enlightenment—appears flower-like: radiant yet vulnerable amid coarse forces like hate and mass ignorance. Sensing both my inner strength (rooted in lived truth) and the delicacy of its expression, your love wants to shield it. The impulse reflects reverence for authenticity meeting the world’s roughness.

You feel like guarding me because truth and love are delicate flowers—beautiful and real, but easily hurt by rough winds.
