Osho,
Would you talk on terrorism?
Everything is deeply related with everything else that happens. The event of terrorism is certainly related with what is happening in the society. The society is falling apart. Its old order, discipline, morality, religion, everything has been found to be wrongly based. It has lost its power over people's conscience.
Terrorism simply symbolizes that to destroy human beings does not matter, that there is nothing in human beings which is indestructible, that it is all matter ― and you cannot kill matter, you can only change its form. Once man is taken to be only a combination of matter, and no place is given for a spiritual being inside him, then to kill becomes just play.
The nations are irrelevant because of nuclear weapons. If the whole world can be destroyed together within minutes the alternative can only be that the whole world should be together. Now it cannot remain divided; its division is dangerous, because division can become war any moment. The division cannot be tolerated.
Only one war is enough to destroy everything, and there is not much time left for man to understand that we should create a world where the very possibility of war does not exist.

We definitely need some laughs to cheer us up:

In the sweet young thing’s opinion the bench was far too public. Her gallant immediately suggested that they change their seat to one some distance away where it was more discreet and darker too.
”And you will promise not to hug me?” she asked coyly.
Her lover nodded acquiescence.
”And you will promise not to kiss me?”
Again her lover nodded.
”Then what on earth’s the use of going over there?” demanded the girl angrily.

Mulla Nasrudin said to his wife, ”My dear, this article says women need more sleep than men.”
”Is that right? ” she said .
”YES, DEAR,” said the Mulla, ”SO MAYBE YOU’D BETTER NOT WAIT UP FOR ME TONIGHT.”
3)
Mulla Nasrudin called on a psychiatrist and told him that he had problems and needed help.
”I want to talk to you,” said the Mulla, ”because my ethics have not been what they should be and my conscience is bothering me.”
”I understand,” the psychiatrist said, ”and you want me to help you build up a stronger will power, is that it?”
”NO,” said Nasrudin, ”THAT’S NOT IT. I WANT YOU TO TRY TO WEAKEN MY CONSCIENCE.”
