Why is humanity willing to walk the path towards global suicide?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Without meditation, intelligence can lead to madness; it is through the depth of awareness that despair transforms into beauty and reverence for life."
According to Osho, humanity moves toward global suicide because growing numbers have become intelligent enough to see their conventional lives as hollow, repetitive, and devoid of meaning; despair replaces purpose, making destruction seem logical. Lacking meditation, intelligence turns to madness or suicide. Meditation can transmute this meaninglessness into beauty, benediction, and a reverence for life, reversing the suicidal drift.
When people feel life is empty, they want to quit—but meditation can give life meaning again so we stop hurting ourselves and the world.
Why this matters practically
- Choose meditation over despair to prevent self-destructive habits.
- Restore meaning and gratitude in daily routines.
- Cultivate reverence for life, reducing harm to self and others.
