“Once you accept that everything can be taken, you become impossible to control.”
This is about the psychology of control. People and systems control you by threatening what you're afraid to lose your reputation, comfort, relationships, status. As long as you fear losing those things, you can be pressured into compliance, silence, or compromise. But once you genuinely accept that all of it everything can be taken from you, that fear loses its grip. You stop making decisions from a place of protecting what you have, and start making them from a place of principle. That makes you very hard to manipulate, because there's nothing left to threaten you with.
