According to Osho, prosperity and freedom don’t bring joy when the psyche is conditioned by centuries of sadism and masochism. Religion has sanctified suffering, so even the wealthy cling to self-torture or to making others suffer, turning misery into a virtue. Thus, people squander free time and resources instead of growing in awareness. Happiness arises only by creating a third way: playful, creative, meditative consciousness beyond torture.
Even with money and freedom, many were taught to value suffering, so they keep hurting themselves or others instead of using life to grow inside—and that keeps them unhappy.
