There are no .
differences. Everyone is brought up to be happy, and most do not even .
know what sadness or anger is. All is cured artificially through .
surrogates or drugs. Even happiness alone is not unique to the .
individual. Soma, the hallucinatory drug, the 'perfect drug' that is .
used by all, even induces the same kind of happiness. The only variant .
is to what extent this happiness overwhelms the user (one or two .
half-gramme tablets?). "Everybody belongs to everyone .
else" (127) is the basic psychology of the society. This suggests .
that an individual owes everything to society, but society in turn .
owes everything to him or her. This applies to all. No one capitalises .
on the efforts of others and no one performs excessive manual labour .
for minimum wage. Everyone is the same. In Huxley's perfect .
world, sex is a mundane undertaking. It happens to each individual .
almost every night. And no one knows what marriage is. They simply .
have each other and move on. All for one and one for all. Everyone is .
the same in bed. The inhabitants of this society are not given .
any sort of mental flexibility. If you spend time alone, or think, you .
are considered strange, and are considered an outcast. Nobody wishes .
for this, and so correspondingly nobody commits this unspeakable .
crime. Everyone goes out at night with a different partner, or takes a .
few grammes of soma and goes to bed for a soma-holiday. Nothing new, .
nothing different. Each person of this society has a .
predestined future. They all develop in their fetal stages inside a .
jar, where they are provided with their needs, are vaccinated against .
all known diseases. Also, special treatments are performed to aid in .
the mental growth (or standstill) of the individual after 'birth', .
according to their future occupation. "The first of a .
batch of two hundred and fifty embryonic rocket-plane engineers was .
just passing the eleven hundredth metre mark on Rack 3.
