Responsibility is a scary subject for many. It is often perceived to be a burden. "Problems are there, but problems come from within you and then they are projected on other people." Osho lays out a different way of understanding and behavior which will result in a totally different kind of life.

Osho's advice is simple if someone acts a certain way towards you and you search within yourself and can think of nothing you did deserving of this behavior then he suggests approaching the person and asking them about it. This seems like quite a simple answer really but then Osho goes on to say that a great deal of the time a person's dislike towards another is merely projection. They have a self issue and it's not really about you at all. If it is about you then perhaps you can apologize or change your behavior but a great deal of the time it is projection. Osho advises to be like a mirror and don't internalize negative behavior: just let them act the way they want and you focus on maintaining your own balance. He also mentioned that in his personal experience people have accused him of being controversial and his response was to ask the person criticizing him " How many people in history that accomplished something were not controversial?" The person never responded but the point is that the shoemaker, the car mechanic and a myriad of others were not controversial because they were silent. Buddha was controversial in his time, and Jesus was controversial in his time as well: sometimes the negative feelings directed at you are not even about you. Great figures in history are always controversial.

This Osho talk is all about conflict between people.
