R’ Brevda is similar to what everyone is saying but he expounds a little more. For example, he brings down the Gaon that on the night of Pesach we have 64 mitzvos- how is that Cheirus?! Unless, you don’t define “freedom” how the rest of the world defines it. Nobody enjoys living a life of no rules at all- it completely messes them up because they have no structure. So when Hashem made us Bnei Chorin he did that by giving us rules- so that we can maximize our lives to accomplish the most. Someone without any laws guiding them could never do that. But really, listen/watch the shiur. It’s good.
