According to Osho, the world’s misery comes from systematically ruining the child’s natural joy and love so that parasitic institutions—religions, social structures, and schools—can survive. By enforcing guilt, fear, and imitation, they create hypocritical, pretending selves cut off from reality. This continuous pretense exhausts us, replaces real love with hollow roles, and destroys the pagan, simple celebration of life.
