Freedom *FROM*, or Freedom *TO*?

Are we desperately seeking Freedom *FROM*, or enjoying Freedom *TO*?
So many of us imagine happiness coming when we snap the leash of the j.o.b., when we finally break free of the dread "Triple-40 Scam", when we've made enough money to be responsible with our obligations, and enough to give, and enough to have a fulfilling & fun life for our foreseeable future, Freedom *FROM* bosses, commutes, and the need for the paychecks.
What about Freedom *TO*? (Time-) Freedom *TO* be with family, *TO* volunteer, *TO* follow through on those wonderful dreams we had as children ("When I grow up, I'm gonna...") that sadly got shelved with the plush toys when we got older & got jobs? Freedom *TO* go all those fascinating places and meet the people who live there? Freedom *TO* learn different ways of doing things that might help us get where we want to be - earlier?
Freedom "from" seems like a childish desire to run away;
Freedom *TO* means a child-like joy to run & play.
