Why is humanity today becoming more and more miserable?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Humanity's misery is not new; it is merely hidden beneath the comforting illusions created by those we blindly worship. Only a childlike vision can unveil the truth and liberate us from inherited suffering."
According to Osho, humanity isn’t newly miserable; it has always lived in misery made invisible by its nearness and by age-old conditioning. We worship the very sources—religious prophets, political leaders, moral lawgivers—whose doctrines camouflage life’s stench with fragrant words. Only a childlike, fresh vision that looks behind these decorations can expose the real causes and end inherited suffering.
We stay unhappy because we trust old authorities and pretty ideas that hide the mess, instead of looking freshly for ourselves.
Why this matters practically
- Question inherited beliefs and authorities instead of automatically revering them.
- Practice childlike awareness: look directly, not through borrowed ideas.
- Look behind pleasant words to see and clean the actual 'dirt' in your life.
