Freedom is expensive, public, and involves love and responsibility. Therefore, we can't gain freedom unconditionally and freely. Love needs a partner, so freedom is public. The one who knows is responsible. If you don't practice, although you know, then you are a sinner.
Responsibility is to take the active role.
Evading responsibility makes no progress. Little responsibility makes little progress. Doing our responsibility is self-creation. We must overcome death, then we can enjoy freedom apart from suffering. Salvation comes from self-control, from which also comes true freedom.
