"La resistencia no tiene fuerza propia. ¿Alguna vez has visto a un ogro soplar una bolsa de papel vacía?"
— Steven Pressfield

Simplified Meaning:
When something strong or scary tries to crush something that isn't resisting, it’s easy for the strong thing. Imagine a big, powerful ogre trying to blow up an empty paper bag. The paper bag won’t put up a fight because it’s empty, and the ogre can destroy it easily. In life, this is like how big problems or people who try to hurt you need you to react to have power over you. If you stay calm and don’t give them what they want, they have nothing to work with and their power disappears. For instance, if someone tries to argue with you but you don't react angrily, the argument can't get bigger. By not fighting back, you take away their ability to control or upset you.
