It is better that one should suffer than that many should be corrupted. Consider the matter dispassionately, Mr. Foster, and you will see that no offence is so heinous as unorthodoxy of behavior. Murder kills only the individual-and, after all, what is an individual?... We can make a new one with the greatest ease-as many as we like. Unorthodoxy threatens more than the life of a mere individual; it strikes at Society itself."

The World State has conditioned its citizens to transform them into a group of ignorant, blind, and naive people with no self worth, no thoughts of their own, and no personal identity. The price for social stability is not worth paying for, it is not worth losing one’s true self. It is not worth losing the freedom to flower and grow into the person one was meant to
