Why do people interfere with what we are doing instead of leaving us alone?

People interfere not because they care, but because your freedom threatens the very foundations of their conditioned existence.

— Osho
According to Osho, people interfere because our way threatens the psychological and historical foundations on which their identities, religions, and cultures rest. Our success would expose their millennia-old failures, robbing them of consolation and authority. Conditioned minds resist a total break with the past; therefore, they seek our failure and oppose a living experiment that proves another way is possible.

People try to stop us because our new way scares them—it could prove their old ways failed, so they fight to protect what they believe.
