Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). (№ 213154)

True intimacy is possible only when two people are able to understand and accept each other for who they are.
If you suddenly throw off the mask and be yourself - that is, you will cry, when you want, laugh when you want, to be angry, when you want - and your favorite person will not understand and will never accept, just so you know: there was never genuine intimacy. It was a sham, was a substitute. If the person really close to you, he will, and your candor, and your silence, and your feelings with love and understanding, without criticism and condemnation. Don't be afraid to break the connection, if it turns out that it was false that it was not based on genuine intimacy and understanding. Freed from such a relationship, you just make room in your life to include something genuine and real. For this you just need to become real himself.
