Feeling Desperate, Terrified? — Insights on Helplessness for a World in Crisis

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!

“I can understand your desperation, your helplessness. This is how perhaps every human being who is aware of the crisis feels. But you are not aware of a greater power: destruction is a low category power, creation is a high category power. Destruction is out of hate, creation is out of love.

“You have seen where hate can lead humanity, to its ultimate suicide, but you have not seen the possibility that love, growing to its height, may simply prevent this crisis from happening.
