Drunkenness

Q: Why is there fear and objection to drinking with drunkards?

According to Osho, people fear and object to drinking with drunkards because their ecstatic, uncontrollable energy threatens our dependence on crowds, tradition, and self-control. The intoxicated saint exposes our insecurity: to join their celebration we must drop control and stand alone. Fear hides in groups; ecstasy dissolves them. Hence society resists the drunkard’s freedom and condemns his company.

Drunkenness

In the spirit of Osho’s insights, the drunken reveler embodies a joyous liberation that unsettles our attachment to societal norms, revealing our deep-seated insecurities; to embrace their ecstasy, we must relinquish control and dare to stand apart from the crowd.
