Love In Brave New World

Brave New World

Everyone at some point of their lifetime have experienced love, whether they are aware of it or not, whether they have loved someone, or were the ones loved. Love is defined as “a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person.” However, I realized that there is no one universal definition of love, everyone has its own definitions and ideas of what love really means. Love is unconditional, meaning that is timeless, without any conditions, everlasting. Humans tend to love the ones we are surrounded by, we love our family members, our true friends, and in some cases our significant other. It is a feeling shared between a young girl listening to her grandfather’s old stories. It may even be the strict rules a parent enforces,

He emphasizes these by writing about a society where there is genetic engineering, stability, and a “happy” life. However, this society was missing perhaps the most important aspect of what makes us as humans, this society lacked of love. These inner feelings were not allowed but replaced by pleasure. Love leads to happiness and “happiness occurs as a result if we succeed something or something good happens to people we love. In the individual basis happiness is the result of hard working and the positive feedbacks we get. On the other hand, pleasure is the state of mood that dependant on particular behavior. For example in Brave New World, sex or soma, or just the fact of eating a delicious meal. On this perspective, happiness and pleasure negatively interrelated. Because pursuing pleasant behaviors leads us to work less and thus results in less happiness.” Huxley explains throughout his novel that we would not be able to have a perfect world and that love is a major key to live a prosperous life. In short, Brave New World should be available to high school students in the PUHSD because it covers the aspects of our modern society and is also valuable to contemporary readers since it state that love should be a universal language spoken by
