Those that equate "freedom" with getting happy outcomes or getting provisions show that they do not understand actual freedom. Freedom can give you the means to succeed, but it can also result in you failing as well.

For example, if you hit a baseball of a tee, you are far more likely to hit the ball. But if you are someone wanting to hit a home run, hitting a ball off a tee would limit that capability. "But I want to be free from striking out," means you do not understand freedom.
