“When they start backing away, you feel abandoned and betrayed, as though people only love you when you鈥檙e 鈥減erfect.鈥� But no one asked you to be perfect, you chose to do that up front because you believed it was the only way people would love you. Then eventually you burn out, drop the mask, and act out. Then people leave and the protective self says, 鈥淥h my God, people always leave me when I鈥檓 not perfect.鈥� But that鈥檚 not the truth.”

“Response is out of freedom. It is not dependent on the other person. The other person may insult you, but you don鈥檛 become angry. On the contrary, you meditate on the fact 鈥� why is he insulting you? Perhaps he is right. Then you have to be grateful to him, not get angry. Perhaps he is wrong. If he is wrong, then for his wrong why should you burn your heart with anger?”

“Reaction is dominated by the other person. He insults you: you get angry, and then you act out of anger. This is reaction. You are not an independent person; anybody can pull you this way or that way. You are easily affected; you can be blackmailed emotionally. Reaction is an emotional blackmail. You were not angry. The man insulted you and his insult created anger; now out of anger comes your action.”
― Osho, Emotions: Freedom from Anger, Jealousy & Fear
