I prefer long term hold because it gives me time to engage in other activities and it is more profitable. Day trading is only profitable when using a huge amount of money to trade.

You have something to expect in the future yet you can do a lot of things that you want to do. That's freedom.
If you go read some financial materials, you'll read that the rich people are into investments because they want freedom which includes being financially free.
