Doing what you like is freedom.
Liking what you do is happiness. The solution to the problem the Buddhists
wisely identified as “dukkha.”
Freedom is insufficient to provide
happiness to most people, because they are unprepared to be happy within the
conditions of human existence. The next thing you want or must have will not
provide happiness, any more than the last one did. This, by the way, is the
opposite of the lesson that commercial television is employed to teach you.
That sells freedom, or rather the illusion of freedom.
