Do we trade our freedom for comfort??

Question

"exemption from external control, interference, regulation, etc.
the absence of or release from ties, obligations, etc."
-from dictionary.com

I am seeing more and more people falling into this Work, Eat, Entertainment, Sleep, Work, Eat, Entertainment, Sleep pattern all of the time. And I ask myself why? Is this really making people happy? And I find out that it's not, they just feel obligated to work, and then feel obligated to enjoy their small amount of free time and so they spend it entertaining themselves with television or movies or video games.

I would like to just live. Just live and wake up every morning being able to do whatever I want that day. That is freedom to me.

Does anyone have any insights or comments on any of this?
