It is that same as the dark ages where some people knew about the Roman laws and ways that ruled before but the new controllers ignored and put in their own. It is also true that the world order has taken rights away and freedoms are removed, but these people have never even seem those before. In Brave New World the people basically stay on a high of joy due to drugs and other actives that the world has given them. Also it is not always the case that only one good thing takes you out of sadness or one bad to get you there. A streak of sadness can be broken with one good thing however it is more likely that people have ups and downs vs blacks of god and bad. Happiness may be affected by what is done last that may lead to an increase or decrease in the level of it, however all that come before that event are also in play. Aside from that I feel that when we look at BMW we judge their sense of happiness not because it’s a feeling but what they do to attain it I shall always like him.” This quote shows us that Lenina can’t block out negative thoughts even though she’s under the influence of soma. We also see an example of mixtures in emotions on PG 171 when Lenin’s says “but in the intervals I still feel like him. We can argue that soma related emotions is not real happiness but the user taking it definitely feels it. In BMW happiness is attributed to many things but soma is the most common. Sometimes we also get a mixture of emotions, where something bothers you but you get a sense of happiness through out your day maybe because something distracted you or you had your favorite dessert. I could have a bad day yet still be happy. I think happiness like all emotions is a state of mind. I mean I could be wrong and this is mainly my opinion so feel free to comment my comment. I don’t really think happiness works that way.
