In Brave New World, the leaders and controllers try to eliminate the tie of feelings to human beings. Sex in our world usually is linked to deep, passionate feelings and love between both people. Humans see sex as a beautiful act that is necessary in life. Procreation is a must in life. However, in this new world and society none of this is true. Since procreation is no longer needed due to the producing of babies in labs, sex has become purely recreational. No feelings or intimacies are associated with this act. Huxley has created this new idea of carelessness in the world. The humans have no worries or pain to deal with so they can flaunt themselves however they please. There are no cares or aging during their time of work in this world. Sex, games, carelessness are very common and part of their every day schedule. As far as “ending is better than mending” goes with this notion that there are no cares. It is easier for one to end something than to fix it. No feelings are tied to any human or object so humans do not care what happens to them.
I’m sure some people would enjoy this type of life, but I know that not being able to love another human would eventually frustrate most. The non-existence of procreation is also an issue that bothers me. People are basically clones of each other and no variety exists. Life would be an interesting time at first, but in the end people would realize that life is not better this way if they were not brain washed. All may be well in the world, but they know nothing better. I would like to see which life the humans would choose if they had the opportunity.
