The New World... is it really so bad?

This society really is not as bad as some people would say that it is. This is because the people are so happy and there is no pain or suffering and there is nothing that is that bad. There is the argument of whether or not this so called happiness is real. But does it matter if it’s real if these people don’t know anything else? When I really think about it this society isn’t so bad. In my opinion they aren’t really living, because to live you have to experience all aspects of life, which include pain and suffering. When I first read the book I was a little surprised by some of the aspects of this society, like the babies being born in bottles and the weird little rhymes they sing and orgy porgy and things like that, but I never thought that this society was horrible. Not even the promiscuity of the people because if there are no diseases and if there are no emotional attachments, it doesn’t matter. The society still isn’t perfect, because there are people like Bernard and Helmholtz who aren’t necessarily happy in this society, but it’s close. There are aspects that are kind of wrong though, like the fact that the babies have their destinies picked out for them, and that some are injected with things to make them not as smart. That doesn’t necessarily seem fair. But at the same time, they need these people to do the jobs no one else wants, and if they don’t realize how much their lives suck, it doesn’t really matter. So, really, the society is not that horrible.
