No, that’s kinda the point. Nobody can take your will from you. (see: Epictetus, etc. ancient Stoics)

You only control four things: opinion, pursuit, aversion, desire. “Or in a word… everything of your own doing.”

Whatever the external results (which might inform the use of all of the above) you still are who you choose to be.

That doesn’t mean anything goes: that means everything BUT that one thing can and will be taken from you, even if it SHOULD be, in some sense, respected by society.
