"When People Have the Freedom to Choose, They Choose Wrong" -The Giver Happiness is what we all want. It is the reason why we get out of bed. What happens if the government gave us that happiness but for exchange they took away our freedom: We will be living in a world of peace. A world without poverty. A world with no pain. A world win no emotions. A world with no war. A world with no religion. No family. Who could say no to this? So why don't we let the government run our system? I want our world to be the same as Brave new World and The Giver. Because there world seems so healthy, there was just happiness. That's why we should let the government do everything, all we have to do is just enjoy ourselves. What the government needs to do: The government needs to condition us to be happy. One way they can do this is by sleep therapy. Also the government needs to advance test-tube-babies, so our women's don't need to give birth. Our government needs to banned family and marriage. Reason why is because they cause the most pain. You should be sleeping with different people every night. Our government needs to ban books and religion. Also we need to banned some words for example: Family, Father, Mother, Love The government needs to choose our jobs. I actually made an article about this and I have about 2,100 supporters if you want to support please follow me and I will give you a link to my article.
you cannot 'give' happines like you give freedom. Happiness is a feeling whereas freedom is some kinda other thingy idk.
I feel like this sounds like the plotline to some movie or book where a group of people rebel against the government and their ideas and want freedom back. On a more serious note what you're suggesting goes against human nature, you would never be able to change the way that everyone thinks and rework their brain's thought process to be in line with this. Another point is we can't even give everyone in this planet food and water and you're suggesting that we rework their brain so that they don't want to love, or have kids etc. It just wouldn't be possible.
I didn't like everyone being the same colour in the giver. My answer: imo it's a bad idea. Also those examples are just fiction. Nothing more nothing less.
Dude is this serious? Do you seriously thing people would willingly give up their families? A family *should* have the strongest ties together of anything, nothing should be able to or even try to pull a family apart. If you are serious with this there is something wrong
Forums seem trolly today. I mean, OP can't be serious. 'Family causes the most unhappiness' Really. Have you seen the joy parents have when their kid gets an A or learns to ride their bike? Have you seen the adoration and love that leads to happiness when a foster child finds a loving family?! Obviously you have no experience in that sector. 'We'll make a drug that makes you happy' It already exists bro. Like, everywhere. (Don't do drugs kids, it's not that kind of happy) This isn't funny bro (well, I guess it may be to your warped sense of humor) and people like you need to be eliminated from the gene pool. Y'know, kill of the stupidest 10% of the population every 5 years. That'd improve kaw forums.
No support! OP clearly has no worldly experience or knowledge of world history to balance his idealistic, but dangerous view. I do not want to live in a world where "happiness" is guaranteed by a government. Life IS suffering, but it is the pursuit of happiness that gives us the drive to attain those cherished moments of contentment.
What you want to be like North Korea? Dude that book is fiction for a reason, face palm yourself with a hammer
