I kinda see them as the same thing really. It’s that valuing comfort above all and desiring to not have responsibility of their own lives, IS a form of seeking slavery. To seek freedom is the explicit decision to take responsibility for your own life.
Most have simply equated freedom, because they see it as a desirable thing, with comfort and *lack* of responsibility, because that’s what they *really* want. They actually don’t want freedom at all, they are running from it to avoid taking responsibility for their actions and situation.
But arguably, either framing can be considered accurate, imo. Because freedom and responsibility are two sides of the same coin, and most people find comfort in avoiding the weight of responsibility.
