"La liberté n'est qu'un autre mot pour désigner qu'il ne reste plus rien à perdre"
— Langston Hughes

Simplified Meaning:
When a person feels they have nothing left to lose, they often feel a sense of freedom because they aren’t worried about holding onto things or outcomes. Imagine a person who loses their job and has no immediate family responsibilities. Initially, it may seem like a downfall, but with nothing tying them down, they could feel free to travel, explore new opportunities, or start fresh without fear of losing anything else. This mindset can be liberating because the person is not scared of losing what they no longer have. It encourages taking risks and trying new things because there is no fear of loss. In life, sometimes letting go of attachments or things we cling to can actually lead to a sense of freedom and new possibilities.
