Freedom means freedom from all attachments
Humans are dependent on food, shelter, clothing for physical needs but psychological attachment with them creates fear of losing them. This attachment goes deep into beliefs, conclusions, experiences. Every attachment breeds fear and conflict. Freedom means freedom from all attachments and dependencies. One might be detached from one attachments but is attached to other attachments. The mind which is not freed from attachments is always in conflicts and fears.
Looking or seeing deep into one attachment is becoming aware of all attachments, produces action to go beyond all attachments. Mind must be aware of the whole mechanism that creates attachments or habits.
Our I is used to habits and attachments. I and his attachments are not different but are one. One should be intelligent enough to understand that the Observer me is the observed habits.
Most of us see things fragmentarily as observers and observations, hence can not see the whole. We all look at life that way. If all of us are interested only in our personal satisfaction, then we can't see the whole of humanity.
