Freedom is like health, it is taken for granted while one has it. One becomes aware of it when it has gone.

"The first awareness of the child comes with his ego. He becomes aware of the "I", not of the Self. Really, he becomes aware first of the "thou". The child first becomes aware of his mother. Then, reflectively, he becomes aware of himself. First he becomes aware of objects around him. Then, by and by, he begins to feel that he is separate. This feeling of separation gives the feeling of ego, and because the child first becomes aware of the ego, ego becomes a covering on the Self. "

Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.
Freedom cannot be granted. It must be taken.
