In Brave New World the idea of happiness revolves around stabilty and peace, but is that really true happiness? In my opinion happiness is something that comes from struggle and hardship because if everything is given to a person on a silver platter they are not happy they are simply blind to everything else. Sure the utopian society that exists in this novel is appealing, but seeing how ignorant and drugged up the inhabitants are it is clear to see why they are so blissfully ignorant- they have no mind at all. with no mind or thoughts for that matter they really are not even people, they are just mindless drones. Truly bloggers how happy could anyone possibly be when they do the same thing every single day? Where is the excitement? The danger?
Now, of course, the world was uncivilized before the utopian rule arised and considered miserable, but in what way is the mindless society any better- it is just another type of misery, only they do not know they are miserable. Then again what is misery?

Doing the same thing daily is boring, even if it is like sky diving or something that could be a blast if done rarely, but when we do everything daily it ruins the excitement. For example, school, during the school year students eventually are tired of it and just want summer to come. Now that it is summer time and students have gotten a good break from school some have gotten even excited to go to school again. I have heard these comments of "I'm excited to go back", even my sister said "I want to do homework, I dont like it when I am assigned it everyday but now that I don't have to do it i wish i did". So my opinion is same as yours, a perfect like that would not be a perfect world for me, i like new things and a change in my daily routine.
