Society is killing the senses, emotions and souls of its people with concepts known as pleasure and happiness. In recent decades, pleasure and happiness have taken on new meanings and will continue to take on new meanings as the world moves further and further back in time. The novel Brave New World becomes all too real when you look at the way the author, Aldous Huxley, describes happiness through the characters in his book. In an article on Huxley's novel, Andrew Reeves, a psychology columnist at the University of Liverpool, states: "For those who have never read it, it is set at some indeterminate point in the future, where universal happiness is a social imperative shared . People are conditioned to believe that it is a rare luxury that only a few people get to experience. Perhaps, part of the reason why happiness seems so elusive is that the world has come to think that every negative emotion and gloomy feeling is. negative and that it needs to be suppressed rather than let out. It's almost as if we consider sadness, anger and other negative emotions as some kind of illness, as if it's not normal for people to feel anything other than happiness and joy this mentality, the world becomes closer and closer to the lifestyle experienced by the characters of Brave New World. The characters move forward, blindly accepting the fact that happiness is all there is in the world. In the novel, the government even gives them a drug, called soma, in the form of a pill to take whenever they feel anything other than happiness. While writing his novel, Huxley expressed fear of all the advances made in technology and the medical field to tame unfavorable feelings. Andrew Reeves points this out in his article on Brave New World by saying: “Some might argue that, like all good science fiction (if Brave New World falls into that genre), Huxley saw a little piece of the future. It seems that in the current pursuit of happiness, discomfort and anger, for example, are too easily pathologised, and anything other than joy and contentment is experienced as intolerable” (Reeves). Of course, there are real medical cases, such as depression, that cause many people a great deal of pain. Hopefully these people can be helped using some of the medical and technological advances that Huxley feared. However, it seems that more and more people are announcing and diagnosing themselves with illnesses, such as depression, just because of a couple of bad experiences. Life is actually made up of ups and downs and includes bad experiences. Those bad experiences make the good ones even better. That's not to say it's funny
