Understand the following and you'll understand both Passover and freedom.
It's all about your freedom.
It's not about how you choose to restrict the carbohydrates in your diet. (Although that can be a wonderful path for realizing your freedom.) It's not really about the ancient Israelites leaving their constrictions. It's about you being, reclaiming, and realizing your own freedom. (Re-read the previous sentence, please.)
At every festive Passover meal the following sentence is recited, yet so few understand it: we are not here because of what God did for our ancestors, it is because of what God has done for me. The Biblical story of freedom–the story of Exodus–is retold, but only as the backdrop for each of us to understand that we, we are the ones whom God has set free.
God has freed you.
(Please don't get too hung-up by the word "God." It need mean nothing more or less than you want it to.)
And, God has freed me.
How wonderful that is.
How truly wonderful.

If you are looking for more, there isn't any.
Except, perhaps, for you to answer, "Of what has God freed you?"
