> "you have to do things and not all will be pleasant."
This is arguing that there is no difference between being a slave and being a free human because both have to prepare food, chop wood, wash dishes.
"I own a house, I will put the bins out because I want my house to be rat-free and smell nice" is fundamentally different from "my master orders me to put the bins out and if I don't I will be punished" and from "my employer orders me to put the bins out and if I don't I will become unemployed, homeless, unable to get food, so I am coerced to do it and have no choice".
You are arguing that the choice is meaningless because labour and work and employment are all the same, and the author is arguing that the choice is everything.

Couldn't agree more... all this work/labor hairsplitting makes no sense.
