Assume All That You Do Might One Day Be Revealed

The belief in privacy is a false comfort, always vulnerable to time, accident, and betrayal. No secret is beyond exposure, no wall beyond breach. A man who relies on concealment lives at the mercy of external forces. To assume otherwise is to gamble on the whims of circumstance.

This is not merely a call for restraint but for ownership too. One should act in such a way that, if his actions and utterances were revealed, they would demand neither shame nor justification. To stand by one’s actions without fear of exposure is not only a safeguard but a freedom. When a man hides nothing, nothing can be weaponised against him.
