HOW DOES A RELATIONSHIP WORK? You ask. It does not work – and you can see it everywhere – it only pretends to. People go on saying that everything is okay, everything is good. What is the point of showing one’s misery? What is the point of showing one’s wounds? One goes on hiding them – it is humiliating to show one’s wounds, so people pretend that everything is going well. They go on smiling, they go on repressing their tears. Friedrich Nietzsche is reported to have said, ’I go on smiling and laughing for the simple reason that if I DON’T smile I may start crying.’ Smiling is a way to cover up tears: you shift your energy from the tears to the smile so that you can forget your tears. But everybody is full of tears. I have looked into thousands of people’s lives, their relationships. It is all misery, but they are covering it up, pretending everything is going okay. A relationship does not work, cannot work. OshO ❤️ Zen: Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing
