4 Quotes and Aphorisms 08/06/2017
Dear readers, today on our blog we have a very deep and heartfelt topic - about the meaning of life. At some point, we all become interested in such questions, and then we turn to sages such as Osho for answers. Surely everyone is familiar with this name and many have come across Osho quotes online, and someone may have read books compiled from his lectures. However, not everyone knows that Osho is far from being such an unambiguous and benevolent person as he is sometimes presented. So let's find out more about him.
At birth in 1931, he was named Chandra Mohan Jain, then changed his name to Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh, which means “He who is blessed is God.” He left this world 27 years ago as Osho, translated from Hindi as “Oceanic, dissolved in the ocean.”
The life of this Hindu mystic was very eventful and contradictory. He criticized socialism, Christianity and Mahatma Gandhi personally. He promoted free love relationships (he was even called the “sex guru” and “scandal guru”). He founded “special” settlements, the inhabitants of which were considered dangerous sectarians. He was banned from entering 21 countries! And only after his death, many realized that Osho’s activities were not only shocking, and that the “oceanic” man himself was not an over-aged hooligan, but a passionate, interested in many, truly deep personality. This is also indicated by his quotes about life.
In fact, Osho's teachings are a combination of Buddhism, yoga, Taoism, Sikhism, Greek philosophy and much more, even Christianity, which he did not particularly like, as well as personal experience. Osho said a lot of wise, important things, and in the books compiled on the basis of conversations with him (and there are more than a thousand such books), everyone will find something for themselves.
Osho's worldview
Osho's worldview is reflected in his statements:
“I don’t have a system. Systems can only be dead. I am an unsystematic, anarchic flow, I am not even a person, but simply a process. I don’t know what I told you yesterday.”
“Truth is outside of specific forms, attitudes, verbal formulations, practices, logic, and its comprehension is carried out by a chaotic, not a systematic method.” “My message is not a doctrine, not a philosophy. My message is a kind of alchemy, a science of transformation.”
Many of Osho’s lectures were paradoxical, but on this occasion he said the following: “My friends are surprised: yesterday you said one thing, and today you said something else. What should we obey? I can understand their confusion. They only grasped at the words. Conversations have no value for me, only the spaces between the words I speak are what are valuable. Yesterday I opened the doors to my emptiness with the help of some words, today I open them with the help of other words.”
Still, Osho's speeches, reflecting his views, are valuable for modern culture. I suggest we read the best Osho quotes...
Oh happiness
Osho believed that everything that happens to you should be accepted with ease. This will avoid suffering. Osho quotes about life help you see where true happiness lies.
“What difference does it make who is stronger, who is smarter, who is more beautiful, who is richer? Because in the end, the only thing that matters is whether you are a happy person or not.”
“There are three traps that steal joy and peace: regret for the past, anxiety for the future, and ungratefulness for the present.”
“If you are rich, don’t think about it, if you are poor, don’t take your poverty seriously. If you are able to live in peace, remembering that the world is just a show, you will be free, you will not be touched by suffering. Suffering is the result of taking life seriously; bliss is the result of the game. Take life as a game, enjoy it.”
“When you have happiness, you can share it; when you don't have it, how can you share it? Before you can share something, you have to have it.”
“Don’t look for the best, but look for your own. After all, the best will not always be yours, but yours will always be better..."

Love is what's inside
Love is what's inside. Osho quotes about love are very sincere. Objects of passion can change, the main thing is freedom and joy, although in principle, they can be preserved in an alliance with one partner. But tormented by love experiences, giving up something significant for yourself, is the wrong approach.
“Love has nothing to do with relationships, love is a state.”
“If you can have freedom and love at the same time, you don't need anything else. You have everything - what life was given for.”
“If you catch a bird, then do not keep it in a cage, do not make it want to fly away from you, but cannot. And make it so that she could fly away, but didn’t want to.”
“If you want to love a person forever, you cannot go near him for a minute.”
“Stop thinking about how to get love and start giving it. By giving, you receive. There is no other way..."
“Love never hurts anyone. If you feel that love hurts, it means that something else is hurting, but not your love experiences. If you don’t understand this, then you will continue to move in the same vicious circle.”
“When you are sick, call the doctor. But most importantly, call those who love you, because there is no medicine more important than love.”
“If you love, but you are not there, let go. If you are loved, but you are not, evaluate and take a closer look. If the love is mutual, fight.”
“Love knows how to go into the unknown. Love knows how to throw away all guarantees. Love knows how to rush into the unfamiliar and unknown. Love is courage. Trust love."
“You must know that freedom is the highest value, and if love does not give you freedom, then it is not love.”
“The mind is a very businesslike, calculating mechanism; it has nothing to do with love.”
“There is really no reason why a woman should wait for a man to take the initiative. If a woman is in love, she should make the first move. If the man did not respond, she should not feel humiliated.”
Make life around you beautiful!
The idea is simple: you must always go forward and upward and discover something new! Both around you and in yourself. Inspirational Osho quotes will support you along this path.
“The only person on earth we can change is ourselves.”
“Make as many mistakes as possible, just remember one thing: don’t make the same mistake twice. And you will grow."
“Make life around you beautiful. And let every person feel that meeting you is a gift.”
“Whenever you are faced with a choice, be careful: do not choose what is convenient, comfortable, respectable, recognized by society, honorable. Choose what resonates in your heart. Choose what you would like to do, no matter the consequences.”
“You only need one thing - to be natural, as natural as your breathing. Love your life. Don't live according to any commandments. Don't live according to other people's ideas. Don't live the way people demand of you. Listen to your own heart. Become silent, listen to the small, small voice within you and follow it.”
“All the values that a person dreams of are hidden inside him.”
“You must constantly engage in purification: if you notice some nonsense idea in your head, cleanse yourself of it, throw it away. If your mind is pure and clear, you can find a solution to any problem that arises in your life.”
“Any borrowed truth is a lie. Until you experience it yourself, it is never true.”
“Dedicate your life to beauty. Don't devote it to the disgusting. You don't have much time, you don't have much energy to waste. It’s simply stupid to waste such a small life, such a small source of energy on anger, sadness, hatred, jealousy.”
“Only one thing is constant in the world, and that is change. Everything else changes, except changes.”
“We have inherited not only the mind of millions of past years. We have also inherited the madness of millennia.”
“If you have become a river, you cannot help but become an ocean!”
Osho's sayings
Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh)
The world brings neither good nor evil in itself. He is indifferent to people. Everything that happens around us is just a reflection of our own thoughts, feelings, desires, and actions. The world is a big mirror.
Sin is when you don't enjoy life.
When you think you are deceiving others, you are only deceiving yourself.
Healthy self-love is a great religious value. A person who does not love himself will never be able to love anyone else. The first wave of love must grow in your heart. If it has not grown for yourself, it will not grow for anyone else, because everyone else is much further away from you. It is like a stone thrown into a still lake: the first ripples appear around the stone, and then they continue to spread to the distant shores. The first ripples of love should appear directly around you. A person must love his body, love his soul, love himself completely. And this is natural; otherwise you wouldn't survive at all. And that's wonderful because it decorates you. A person who loves himself becomes graceful and elegant. A person who loves himself will inevitably become more silent, more meditative, more prayerful than a person who does not love himself.
Too much focus on the intellect, too much training of the head cuts off all connections with the Heart. Thousands of people do not know what the Heart is! The heart beats, but life energy does not pass through it and, bypassing it, goes directly to the head. You can be very good at logic, you can control logic, but you cannot control Love... Love is when you allow God to find you.
Take a look at this tip. You may not be able to understand it right away, but the message is very simple. The message is: don't interfere. The message is: don't judge. The message is this: you are nobody to change anyone else. It's none of your business. You are not meant to do this. Live your life and let others live theirs. Let everyone have the freedom to do their own thing.
Don't whine, don't complain. Don't beg anything from God or the Devil. They won't give you anything. Only you yourself can create Joy for yourself. Look for the Joy within you. Develop your talents, fulfill your wishes and dance at the celebration of Life. If you think that a loved one can give you Joy, then you are deeply mistaken. As soon as you think that, you become a vampire who is trying to suck the Joy out of another person. Stop! This is a dead end. Other people do not have your Joy. Remember: if you suffer, you suffer because of yourself. A quarrel between lovers is an attempt to scratch Joy out of the other. You can get Joy from other people only when you love them. And you don’t change them, but help them blossom. Help them to reveal their talents and live a full Life. This applies to your loved ones, your children, and everyone around you. Just love them and have fun with it.
If everyone attacks me, I just laugh... And if you are offended, it means that there is pain inside you! You don't know yourself. The part of you that can be offended is your ignorance. If someone calls you an idiot and you agree, you will be offended, but if someone calls you an idiot, and you know that you are not an idiot, you will just laugh! The person doesn't know you..., do you understand? If you are offended, it means you accept that you are an idiot. He said you are an idiot - you got angry, that means deep down you think you are an idiot. By being offended, you show yourself. When you know yourself, no one can harm you. They may harm your body, they may harm your mind, they may harm your emotions, but are you the mind the body or the emotions? When someone bullies you just close your eyes, if it's true then accept it, if not then laugh, don't be serious! Guilt, resentment - you're still young! just shake it up, dance!
When you see the sunrise early in the morning, watch in silence and the sunrise also begins within you, this is prayer. When a bird soars in the sky and you soar in the sky. And you have forgotten that you are separate - this is prayer. Wherever division disappears, prayer arises. When you become one with existence, with the Universal Whole, that is prayer. Prayer is the experience of resurrection, it is rebirth, it is the birth of a new vision... it is a new dimension, it is a new way of looking at things, it is a new way of life. Not something you do; but something that you become. This state of being has nothing to do with the words you say in a temple, mosque, church. It is a silent dialogue with existence. This is attunement with the universal, with the whole... to enter into harmony with the whole is prayer.
Intelligence is not an achievement. You are born intelligent. Trees are intelligent in their own way, they have enough intelligence to live their own lives. Birds are intelligent, animals are intelligent. In fact, what religion means by God is nothing more than that the universe is intelligent, that intelligence is hidden everywhere in it. And if you have eyes to see, you will see it everywhere. Life is intelligence.
Don't follow others, don't imitate, because imitation and following creates stupidity. You are born with an immense capacity for intelligence. You are born with light inside. Listen to that small, quiet voice inside and it will give you direction. No one else can give you direction, no one else can model your life because you are unique. There has never been anyone exactly like you before, and there will never be anyone exactly like you again. By following others, you can instill a beautiful character in yourself, but you cannot achieve a beautiful consciousness, and unless you have a beautiful consciousness, you can never be free. You will stumble in the dark night of the soul. Only your inner light can become the dawn.
But the ordinary human being does not want to be free. It wants to be dependent. It wants someone to lead it. Why? - because then a person can shift all responsibility onto the shoulders of someone else. And the more responsibility you place on other people’s shoulders, the less likely it is that you will ever become free. It is responsibility, the challenge of responsibility, that generates wisdom. Don't miss yours... Be a light... to yourself...
The Awakened live in one common world. Each of the sleepers is in his own.
Bliss is always homeless, always a tramp. Happiness has a home, unhappiness has a home, but bliss has no home. It is like a white cloud that has no roots anywhere. As soon as you take root, the bliss disappears and you are earthbound and clinging. Home means safety, security, comfort, convenience. By and large, if all these things are combined into one, home means death. The more alive you are, the more homeless you are. To be a seeker - this is the main point - means to live in danger, to live in insecurity, to live without knowing what will happen next... always remain open, always be able to be surprised, maintain a sense of the miraculous. As long as you can wonder, you are alive. The English words wonder - “to feel the wonderful and amazing” - and wander - “to wander, wander” - come from the same root. A mind that is chained to a place loses its sense of wonder and wonder because it cannot wander and wander. Wander like a migratory bird, like a cloud, and every moment will bring countless surprises. Stay homeless. Being homeless does not mean not living in a home; it only means to be unattached to anything. Even if you live in a palace, do not be attached to it. If it's time to move on, go - and don't look back. Nothing is holding you back. Use everything, enjoy everything, but remain the master.
And remember that the most ordinary desire, to be extraordinary, is the most ordinary, universal desire inherent in everyone. Only that one person is extraordinary, who has no desire to be extraordinary, who is completely calm about his ordinariness.
A woman becomes a goddess when she explores and accepts her femininity.
It almost always happens that in love people become like children - because love accepts. She doesn't demand anything. She doesn't say, "Be such and such." Love only says: “Be yourself. You are good as is. You are beautiful just the way you are." Love accepts you. Suddenly you begin to throw away all your “this is how it should be”, ideals, personal structures. Like a snake, you shed your old skin and become a child again. Love brings youth.
Even positive emotions, if they are false, are ugly; and even negative emotions, if they are genuine, are beautiful.
You know everything. You always knew everything. But you will go halfway around the world. You will read hundreds of books. You will change dozens of teachers. And only then will you understand that you don’t need to go anywhere, that all the books are about one thing, and there is also one teacher, and He is inside you...
Feel grateful to the person who allowed you to share something with him. Not otherwise! Not the other way around! Don't think in your heart that he should be grateful because you shared something with him. No - feel gratitude yourself that he was ready to listen to you, to share some energy with you; that he was ready to listen to your song, that he was ready to watch your dance of love, that when you came to share yourself with him, he did not reject your gift... because he could have refused.
If you don't be yourself, you will never know who you are.
Love is a flower so delicate that it cannot be forced to last forever.
Don't approach life with clenched fists. Live without preconceptions about life. Why can't we live without expectations?
Uniqueness is a gift from God, specialness is your own attempt.
All attempts of the mind to understand life are doomed to failure, because all these understandings are temporary. Today you understand life this way, in a month - differently, in ten years - completely differently. Life is a mystery, and a mystery cannot be understood, it can only be lived...
Only when you give your love do you show that you have love, only when you give your life do you show that you have life.
To be in harmony with yourself means to allow everything, no matter what.
We are taught to love even our enemy, but if you are truly a person of love, then where can you find an enemy?
Fighting with others is only a trick to avoid internal struggle.
Don't think that you are an exception. The exception is completely different from you.
The thought of the need to change oneself is a condemnation of oneself.
Love having eyes; knows when to say “no” and when to say “yes”.
You find in others only what you first found in yourself. For a joyful heart, even the dark night shines.
All splendor is in the moment, not in eternity.
Happiness comes from feeling needed.
You are responsible for who you are. Don't shift responsibility to someone else, otherwise you will never be free from suffering. No matter how hard and painful it is: it is you and only you who are responsible for everything that happens, has happened, and will happen to you.
Life is an experience, not a theory. It doesn't need explanation. She is here, in all her splendor, simply to be lived, enjoyed and rejoiced in.
You don't have to look for happiness - you have to be happy.
The eyes are the door to the mind.
A state when there are no reasons, but you feel the fullness of life, the fullness of consciousness, and there is a soul.
Millions of people have chosen to avoid sensitivity. They became thick-skinned, and only to protect themselves so that no one could hurt them. But the price is very high. No one can hurt them, but no one can make them happy either.
Get out of your head and into your heart. Think less and feel more. Don’t get attached to thoughts, immerse yourself in sensations... Then your heart will come to life.
If you want to be a happy person, don’t rummage through your memory.
There are times when God comes and knocks on your door. This is love - God knocking at your door. Through a woman, through a man, through a child, through love, through a flower, through a sunset or dawn... God can knock in a million different ways.
Immature people, falling in love, destroy each other's freedom, create dependence, and build a prison. Mature people in love help each other to be free; they help each other eliminate any dependencies. When love lives in dependence, ugliness appears. And when love flows with freedom, beauty appears.
If you love, but you are not there, let go. If you are loved, but you are not, evaluate and take a closer look. If the love is mutual, fight.
Whenever you are faced with a choice, be careful: do not choose what is convenient, comfortable, respectable, recognized by society, honorable. Choose what resonates in your heart. Choose what you would like to do, no matter what the consequences.
There are three traps that steal joy and peace: regret about the past, anxiety about the future, and ungratefulness for the present.
The ego is an eternal beggar, it constantly needs something; and love is charitable. The ego only understands the language of “take”; the language of “give” is the language of love. Explanation of the quote: 08/28/1968 Bombay.
These tears... Even though they are part of the body, they express something that does not belong to the body. Explanation of the quote: From letters to students and friends (from 1962 to 1971) - “A Cup of Tea”
Allow yourself the luxury of not interacting with unpleasant people.
The world comes to you as it comes from you.
Only the inferior thinks of superiority. A real person, a genuine person, is not the first and not the last, he simply is - unique and there is no one above him, no one below him.
Despair only happens when there is expectation. Nothing can bring me to despair: I expect nothing from you.
Make life around you beautiful. And let every person feel that meeting you is a gift.
The reasons are within ourselves, outside there are only justifications.
Falling is part of life, rising to your feet is living it. Being alive is a gift and being happy is your choice.
We are all unique. Never ask anyone what is right and what is wrong. Life is an experiment to find out what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes you may do something wrong, but it will give you relevant experience from which you will immediately benefit. Every action leads to an immediate result. Just be alert and watch. A mature person is one who has observed himself and found what is right and wrong for him; what is good and what is bad. And thanks to the fact that he found it himself, he has enormous authority: even if the whole World says something different, nothing will change for him. He has his own experience to draw on, and that's enough.
Love has three dimensions. One is the dependency dimension; it happens to most people. The husband depends on the wife, the wife depends on the husband; they exploit each other, subjugate each other, reduce each other to commodities. In ninety-nine percent of cases in the world, this is exactly what happens. That is why love, which can open the doors of heaven, only opens the doors of hell. The second possibility is love between two independent people. This also happens occasionally. But this also brings suffering, because there is constant conflict. No attunement is possible; both are so independent that no one is ready to compromise or adapt to the other. With poets, artists, thinkers, scientists, with all those who live in a kind of independence, at least in their minds, it is impossible to live; they are too eccentric people. They give the other freedom, but their freedom seems more like indifference than freedom, and it looks like they don't care, like it doesn't matter to them. They let each other live in their own space. The relationship seems only superficial; they are afraid to go deeper into each other because they are more attached to their freedom than to love and do not want to compromise. And the third possibility is interdependence. It happens very rarely, but when it does, it's heaven on earth. Two people, neither dependent nor independent, but in immeasurable synchronicity, as if breathing together, one soul in two bodies - when this happens, love happens. Just call this love. The first two types don't really love, they just take measures - social, psychological, biological measures. The third is something spiritual.
Love is just like the scent of a flower. She doesn't create relationships; it does not require you to be this or that, to behave in a certain way, to act in a certain way. She doesn't demand anything. She just shares. Similar quote: Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). Love. Freedom. Loneliness
Three proofs that Christ was a Jew: First, he was thirty-three years old and still living with his mother. Secondly, he believed that his mother was a virgin. And thirdly, his mother believed that her son was a god.
Old man Rubinstein constantly pesters his family. - Look at me! I don't smoke, drink or have any interest in women, and tomorrow I'll celebrate my eightieth birthday! —Will you celebrate? - the grandson asks again. - I wonder how?
Nobody can say anything about you. Whatever people say, they are talking about themselves.
People take everything so seriously that it becomes a burden to them. Learn to laugh more. To me, laughter is as holy as prayer.
The first thing you need to realize is that, whether you like it or not, you are alone. Loneliness is your very nature. You can try to forget him, you can try not to be alone, finding friends, finding lovers, mingling with the crowd... But whatever you do, it will remain on the surface. Deep inside, your loneliness is not affected, it remains unaffected.
Rebellion is the flowering of a being.
I want you to stop playing all the games - worldly, spiritual, absolutely all the games that all of humanity has played so far. These games slow you down, they prevent you from blossoming, becoming conscious. I want you to get rid of all this garbage that is slowing you down. I want you to be left alone, completely alone, because then you will have no one to turn to for help, you will not be able to “stick” to any prophet, and thus you will not have the idea that Gautama Buddha will save you. Only when you are left alone - in endless loneliness - will you have no choice but to find your inner center. There is no path, nowhere to go, no advisor, no Teacher, no Master. It seems incredibly cruel and harsh, but I do it because I love you, and people who haven't done it don't and never have loved you. They loved only themselves, they liked to have a large crowd around them - and the larger the crowd, the thicker their ego became.
Loneliness is a state when you are sick of yourself, tired of yourself, tired of yourself, and you want to go somewhere and forget yourself in someone else. Self-sufficiency is when a delicious shiver of your essence runs through you. You're happy to be yourself. You don't have to go anywhere. You are self-sufficient. But now, something new appears in your being. You are so full that you can no longer contain it all. You need to share, you need to give it away. And whoever accepts this gift, you will feel grateful to him for accepting it.
Make as many mistakes as possible, just remember one thing: don’t make the same mistake twice. And you will grow.
Love must be of such quality that it brings freedom, not new chains; love gives you wings and supports you to fly as high as possible.
Throw away all the false faces you've learned to wear. Drop all masks. Be real. Open your whole heart; be naked. There should be no secrets between two lovers, otherwise there is no love. Drop all secrecy. This is politics; secrecy is politics. She shouldn't be in love. You shouldn't hide anything. Whatever arises in your heart must be transparent to your beloved, and whatever arises in her heart must be transparent to you. You must become two transparent beings for each other.
If you love a person, you will not interfere in his personal life. You will not dare to violate the boundaries of his inner world.
Don't let your doubt die. This is the most precious thing you have, because someday doubt will help you discover the truth.
If you catch a bird, then do not keep it in a cage, do not make it want to fly away from you, but cannot. And make it so that she could fly away, but did not want to.
You must know that freedom is the highest value and if love does not give you freedom, then it is not love.
We have forgotten how to wait. It's almost a forgotten art. And our greatest treasure is to be able to wait for the right moment.
He who is ready to go mad reaches God.
Only an unhappy person tries to prove that he is happy; only a dead person tries to prove that he is alive; only a coward tries to prove that he is brave. Only a person who knows his baseness tries to prove his greatness.
When you are suffering, you can go to hell: to a disco, to a restaurant, on a date with your boyfriend or girlfriend. When you are suffering, this is what you need to do. But when you are happy, healthy, feeling good, cheerful and cheerful, when everything around you is good, don’t waste this time on all sorts of nonsense. This is the most appropriate moment to jump into higher states, peace, ecstasy and bliss.
Never forget this truth: what you get from life is what you give to life.
Whatever contains a goal outside of itself is intended for the mediocre mind, and everything that contains a goal within itself is intended for a truly intelligent person.
People have completely forgotten that they need to live. Who has time for this? Everyone teaches someone else what they should be, and no one ever seems satisfied. If a person wants to live, then he must learn one thing: accept things as they are, and accept yourself as you are. Start living. Don't start preparing for life in the future. All the suffering in the world comes from the fact that you completely forgot that you need to live, you began to engage in activities that have nothing to do with life.
Just being yourself means being beautiful.
Have you ever asked yourself the most important question: do problems really exist or are you creating them? People clutch at their misfortunes in order to prevent emptiness in themselves.
Becoming too serious is the greatest misfortune.
There are people who turned their illness into a blessing, who turned their blindness into inner insight, who turned their death into new life.
The only time you have is now; the only place is here.
The crowd doesn't like loners; it recognizes only false people who imitate each other in everything. The crowd despises anyone who keeps to himself, who stands up for his rights, defends his freedom, does his own thing, regardless of the consequences.
If you are rich, don't think about it, if you are poor, don't take your poverty seriously. If you are able to live in peace, remembering that the world is just a show, you will be free, you will not be touched by suffering. Suffering is the result of taking life seriously; bliss is the result of the game. Take life as a game, enjoy it.
All you need is to be natural, as natural as your breathing. Love your life. Don't live according to any commandments. Don't live according to other people's ideas. Don't live the way people demand of you. Listen to your own heart. Become silent, listen to the small, weak voice within you and follow it.
Vegetarianism has nothing to do with religion: at its core it is something scientific. It has nothing to do with morality, but it has a lot to do with aesthetics. It is impossible to believe that a sensitive, conscious, understanding, loving person can eat meat. And if he eats meat, then something is missing - he is still somewhere not aware of what he is doing, not aware of the meaning of his actions.
And the person continues to live on this poisoned meat. It is not surprising if you remain angry, violent, aggressive; it `s naturally. If you live by killing, you will not respect life; you are hostile to life. But a person who is at enmity with life cannot go to prayer - because prayer means reverence for life.
Stop thinking about how to get love and start giving. By giving, you receive. There is no other way.
You are a big fan of creating problems... just understand this and suddenly the problems will disappear.
There is beauty and splendor and positivity in solitude; in the feeling that you are lonely - poverty, negativity and gloom.
Love knows how to go into the unknown. Love knows how to throw away all guarantees. Love knows how to rush into the unfamiliar and unknown. Love is courage. Trust love.
Until you are able to say no, your yes is meaningless.
Man created God in his own image and likeness. Similar quote: Christopher Hitchens. God is not love. How religion poisons everything
Love is not a relationship, but a state.
About communication
All this “socialization” is an illusion. Understand yourself and share your most secret things with loved ones who are ready to understand you.
“Give yourself the luxury of not interacting with unpleasant people.”
“Loneliness is a state when you are sick of yourself, tired of yourself, tired of yourself and you want to go somewhere and forget yourself in someone else.”
“Self-sufficiency is when a delicious shiver of your essence runs through you. You're happy to be yourself. You don't have to go anywhere. You are self-sufficient. But now something new appears in your essence. You are so full that you can no longer contain it all. You need to share, you need to give it away. And whoever accepts this gift, you will feel grateful to him for accepting it.”
“No one can say anything about you. Whatever people say, they are talking about themselves.”
“The greatest fear in the world is fear of the opinions of others. The moment you are not afraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar is heard in your heart - the roar of freedom."
“Society will give you everything if you give it your freedom.”
About gratitude for existence
“Just being alive is a true gift, but no one has ever told you to be grateful for your existence. On the contrary, everyone complains and gets angry. If everything that surrounds your life from the very beginning indicates that you are not who you should be, shows you ideals that you should follow, then your givenness was simply never celebrated. Your future is praised - whether you can become someone respected, influential, rich, smart, famous in some sense, not just a nobody.”
A smile is the main weapon!
High spirits are the basis of our existence. And a smile is the main weapon!
“Have you ever noticed that man is the only animal that laughs?”
“People take everything so seriously that it becomes a burden to them. Learn to laugh more. To me, laughter is as holy as prayer.”
“Becoming too serious is the greatest misfortune.”
“There comes a time in your life when you step away from drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. You forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for the rest. Life is so short, live it nothing but happily. Falling is part of life, rising to your feet is living it. To be alive is a gift, and to be happy is your choice.”
“Truth is not a dogma, but a dance.”
