Brave New World-16

"...as though any one mattered as much as all that!" (pg. 206)

I'm not really sure how I feel about how the people of this society treat death. They look at it just as a fact of life, and this eliminates all the sadness from it. At the same time, these people are all alone. They're conditioned to be okay with that, but still. I obviously can not understand how they feel, but I don't want to die in a hospital room all alone. At least Linda had John.

John's about to go do something crazy, and I don't think it's going to end well. First the thing with Lenina, then his mom dies. Especially in a society focused on stability, John is very unstable right now.
