by Aldous Huxley

I'm reading a bunch of books; one of them is Brave New World where they remove the ups and downs of life—um, partially through drugs but over sexualization—all that kind of stuff, and I feel like you need that contrast—you need the ups and downs of life. Yeah, the dark; you know, you need the dark to have happiness, have like a deeply intense feeling of affection towards another thing or a human being.

Aella discusses her reading of 'Brave New World' to illustrate her thoughts on the necessity of emotional contrast in life, using the book's themes of societal control and the extremes of happiness and sadness as a foundation for a broader conversation about what it takes to live a fulfilling life.
