That doesn't tell me why it's "better." Merely wanting something doesn't make it an objective good.

Well, I find freedom for me to be "better" than slavery for me. Likewise, I find it "better" that my friends and family are free than slaves. Yes, it's a relative term, but I never claimed otherwise.

Perhaps it's better in the same sense that some people find vanilla ice cream better than chocolate. To say something is better is to say that you prefer it more than other things.
