Meeh, I’ve had so many things in life taken away from me at some point that I just stopped caring to be honest 🤷. I just keep an open mind now (or at least try to) and am more like “oh, no more of that huh… ok, let’s see what was next on my to do list”.
My mom always told me “people can take away everything from you, money, status, freedom… one thing they can never take away - your mind”.
I can’t find it now, but there is an Existential Comic that addresses this attitude perfectly. The philosopher is talking about how he always has some form of freedom, so he gets chained to a wall in a dungeon, and then he says “at least I still have the freedom to interpret my situation!”
Ah, yes, I saw that commic somewhere, I think someone posted it on Lemmy, but there was a twist to it at the end… can’t remember what it was, but it was funny 😂.
Hell, I’m down with that, I don’t use any of that.
Exactly it can be very hard to break away for some people but once you do its a breath of fresh air.

The person who chained him to the wall asks “And how do you interpret this situation?” He replies “it sucks.”
Yes, that was it 🤣🤣🤣.
