Question 2
Many of you have stated that while the lives of the citizens of the world state are full of pleasure, they seem empty. What makes a life full and rich? Is having a full life the same as having a happy life?
Yes,i think that having a full life is the same as having a happy life because when you are life is filled with love and you are surrounded with people that care about you, you instantly feel happy. In BNW their life is full of pleasure but yet still empty because there are no emotions, love and relationships.Its love and your loved ones that make your life filled with joy and happiness.
In my opinion, they're pretty much the same (in terms of impact & purpose). The slight difference however is that: a happy life highlights peaceful and joyful instances. While a full life, highlights all the aspects a person undergoes through, that defines the quality of life.
Life is full when there's contentment. Life is full when there are people and moments you could cherish. And according to Albert Einstein, "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile".
I think, having a full life is important in mi opinion because if u have everything ur happy so it kinda relates to one another. For me if i have everything i need then that makes me happy, BY Asif KOBE
I agree that having a full life is the same as having a happy life. You are not having a full life if you are not truly happy. So I think that both of them connect together A full and rich life makes up love, kindness, family, friends, freedom, and being truly happy. In BNW, I think the citizens are not having a full life because they have to right to do anything and just doing what they are told to do.
well to make life full u need to have a family because it feels like u have a big empty feeling inside of you. so pretty much if you have a family it just makes everything great. to have a happy life you need a family.
When you’re happy, you’re life is full. Although we all have our own different perspectives of happiness, whatever it may be, it’ll surely bring fulfillment in our lives. I personally think that my happiness comes from the people around me – my family and friends, people whom I know that cares about me. We certainly know that our life is full, when we’re contented and satisfied. Because we feel that we already got all the things that will make us happy and make our life worth living.
I think a family you love or persons, who you were with your entire lifetime, best and close friends and love can make a life full. All those things the people in "Brave New World" are missing. For me that would make a life full, instead the citizen of the "World State" just have a society which depends on the state, lacking real freedom and very close contacts.
There is no such as a perfect rich life, cause is beyond mankind's limitation.Ofcourse people might say that the world of state is a perfect place with no stress and is stable. But it actually is empty. Everyone will have a different point of view on this answer. For me to live a rich life is to spend my enternal life with the person I truly love. She can understands me, no matter what kind of situation. The main point is that, I am living for that person which makes us stronger. Sometime having pleasure and have pain is the best.
Happyness and realism of life is what makes it true and happy. In Brave New World the characters are created to be the way they are. Thats not being real. Thats not true happyness

A life that is full and rich consists of being simply happy. A person has to know how to live and whatever makes them happy, they have to find it and make it theirs. Sometimes however a full life is not a happy life. I think that a full life has all the basic needs that a person needs, but sometimes there are other things more important in life, like someone's own goals and dreams for themselves. If those are not met, then a person does not have a happy life. -Nina
