Why is the world so miserable today?
“The world is miserable because the world has forgotten how to be. The world is in suffering because people have listened to all kinds of superstitions, followed all kinds of wrong thoughts, and are lost in a jungle. Naturally there is great anxiety. Time is slipping out of your hands, death is coming closer every moment, and you have not even known about life. And life is fleeting by.

“Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, a Catholic priest, and a hippie were riding in a small airplane when the landing gear fell off.
“The panic-stricken pilot rushed out of the cockpit. ‘I’m sorry, boys, this plane’s not going to make it. There are only four parachutes and as I’m the captain I get one.’

Osho,
You have been warning about the dangers of overpopulation for decades. No one listens, and here we are — now there are eight billion of us!

“By the end of this century there is not going to be elbow room – on each side you will find somebody standing. What are your governments doing and what are your churches doing?”

Osho,
I feel terrified and desperate: desperate to save this incredible, beautiful planet, and terrified because the odds against us seem so high. I feel so insignificant, and helpless to do anything!

Who would have thought that Benito Mussolini and/or Adolf Hitler would be role models for millions of people so shortly after the horrors of fascism roiled the world?
The mind boggles. Is it really possible that anyone with two grey cells to rub together could possibly support the heirs to Auschwitz and the murderers of six million Jews, gays, Romas, the disabled….

Each lives in their own fantasy world and each claims to be making their country great again. They are supported by millions of people who seem to believe in them no matter what they do or say.
The US-American psycho has delusions about winning an election. Everybody around him, including his family and colleagues, has done their best to help him gain some insight into his delusions, but to no avail.
