Many people crave freedom. It could be freedom from something social -- like a political system -- or it can be personal financial freedom, or the freedom that a healthy body allows, or any other kind of freedom.
Yet what many people fail to realize -- fail to accept, rather -- is that the other side of freedom is responsibility.
This may seem strange, because we often think that freedom frees us from responsibility. This is superficially "true" but not actually, fundamentally, or spiritually true (and hence it's untrue). To enjoy freedom means to take responsibility. It means to take ownership of your life in its totality.
If you don't want to take responsibility, then it doesn't matter what you do -- or what life "does" to you: you will not experience freedom.
Freedom and responsibility go hand in hand. They are a package deal. You cannot have one without the other.
