John's Declaration

Society has taught us that soma and erotic play are the ways of life. They have us oblivious to reality. To what do we benefit from erotic play? Nothing quite honestly, we can't even reproduce from it. The majority of our population is made in factories. No mothers, no fathers no families. Many years ago children weren't supposed to participate in erotic play until they were of age and when they were allowed to do it they were only involved with one or two people in their lives, crazy I know, but I believe that we should re-adopt this concept of "waiting" to be a certian age.


We use soma to fill-in our free time. In the past people used their free time writing, reading, getting married and spending time with their family. Yes, believe it or not people actually committed themselves to one person and they spend the rest of their lives with them, and only them. They would still have their problems but they'd somehow get the issue resolved and things would go back as they were. Soma is a waste of valuable time. A waste of precious moments. A waste of present day. Wouldn't you much rather spend extra time doing things that are different and more exciting instead of just being in a soma holiday all the time? We should all have the opportunity to experience the love of just one person, not whatever we have with everyone on the block. I want to be Romeo and find my Juliet. I want the relationship that society doesn't want us to have. I want Lenina to understand what I want.

People think that I'm crazy, but I'm just trying to help the people see what I'm seeing and realize what society is hiding from us and what crazy things they make us do, no one even realizes these things because they were raised to believe that erotic play and soma are normal things that everyone does. I think that it's wrong that society makes us believe that sleeping around and going on a holiday is the right thing to do.

I declare myself free from society and its dictating ways of life. I want to get to know my darling Lenina, not only physically, I want to get to know her as an individual, as a wife, not just a hook up. It is society's fault that people can't have serious, personal relationships, any relationship for that matter. It's as if we are taught to have no emotions or feelings at all. Living in a society where there is no emotion and no love, is not a fun place to live. Its not fair that we are deprived of true freedom.
