Intimacy: The Puzzle of Deep Connection, Trusting Yourself and Others.

"Hit and run" has become the principle upon which the pillars of our modern society are built—a society that has lost its strong family roots and is content with superficial, fleeting relationships. Yet, at the same time, it cannot hide its lack of something essential: genuine intimacy.

This intimacy cannot be reduced to the physical aspect, although sex is certainly one of its keys. More importantly, it is the desire to express deep and delicate feelings, which naturally require another party to give them the care they deserve.

The willingness to risk entering an intimate relationship must be built on solid inner strength, so that if the other person remains closed off or betrays the trust you've given, you will not suffer permanent damage.

A relationship, then, is a puzzle. Since it is formed between two individuals, it varies as they do, meaning it is not a fixed equation. Whenever two people meet, a new world is born. Therefore, this meeting is a new phenomenon that comes into existence, through which both individuals are changed and transformed.

In this book, "Intimacy," Osho takes us step by step, presenting the risks of intimacy while not forgetting to address these fears, emphasizing the need to overcome them and move beyond them to foster our self-development and support our openness and trust.
