Soma and Ecstasy
The people of the world state are living a fake life. They live in an unnaturally happy world; they are living a lie-they don't face the real world. Their lives are covered up by soma. Truth is being true to everything-people, life, everything. It's living in the real world. Happiness should be natural and in truth; not by a pill. People should be naturally happy. Ecstasy and soma are very much the same. Soma put a false front on the people in the book, and in real life, ecstasy puts a false front on people. Ecstasy seems to put a false, unreal front on people and makes them people that they are not. To be happy, outgoing, sensitive, people don't need to take a pill. It should just come naturally. Ecstasy gives the people who use it a false sense of confidence, and they rely on it. Whenever they are faced with a frustrating, stressful situation, they are going to turn to the drug, any drug, and that's not a way to live. Ecstasy and soma put false, drug-brought happiness into the lives of the users.
