However this individuality of being different from each other does not cooperate with the World State’s vision of community. Humanity is built upon the foundations of individuality, where everyone has different ideas of what is true. World Controller Mustapha Mond’s idea of happiness is one made of material pleasures and commodities, yet happiness for most humans is the knowledge of truth as well as their individual pursuits for inner wealth such as love and friendship, things that are all absent in this engineered society. Emotional and scientific realities are sacrificed for a fake happiness in order to keep society stable. The citizens are made to be happy and content with superficial entertainment and material lives so they do not understand, or ever consider the mere possibility, that they are trapped and controlled as puppets of the Controllers’ strings. In Huxley’s World State the Controllers provide comfort, safety and stability to the people by protecting them from the supposedly harmful realities of the truth. Soma is a cover for unhappiness.Truth and happiness are complex notions in Huxley’s Brave New World and it asks us: can one truly exist without the other? You have an unhappy thought? Oh, just have some soma. People do not have to worry about being unhappy because they always have soma.

Soma has created a sense of false happiness in which they can only achieve through use of the drug. This society was addicted to soma and constantly felt the common to have it. 'Expecting Deltas to know what liberty is! And now expecting them to understand Othello! My good boy!'' Which you go and chuck out of the window in the name of liberty, Mr. And if anything should go wrong, there's soma. They're well off they're safe they're never ill they're not afraid of death they're blissfully ignorant of passion and old age they're plagued with no mothers or fathers they've got no wives, or children, or lovers to feel strongly about they're so conditioned that they practically can't help behaving as they ought to behave. People are happy they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get. You can't make flivvers without steel-and you can't make tragedies without social instability. ''Because our world is not the same as Othello's world.

The Savage is the only one in this situation that is not completely brainwashed by the seemingly delightful drug. That instead of being burried down deep in the subconscious, pain is unreal. The people literally believe that pain is non- existent as long as you take soma. They call the Savage a fool for not taking soma! The Savage recognizes the deceit behind society's use of soma. This quote shows how the people literally thought that anyone who didn't take soma was stupid. The man from The Fordian Science Monitor made a dash for his helicopter.' 'Oh, is it?' said the Savage and, picking up a thick hazel switch, strode forward. 'Kohakwa iyathtokyai!' The tone was menacingly derisive. 'Evil's an unreality if you take a couple of grammes.' The other retreated a few steps then turned round again. 'Benighted fool!' shouted the man from The Fordian Science Monitor, 'why don't you take soma?'
