how does controller mond explain happiness and moral education
Mond extoles the principle that people should have no emotions, particularly no painful emotions; blind happiness is necessary for stability. One of the things that guarantee happiness is a drug called soma, which calms you down and gets you high but never gives you a hangover. Another is the "feelies," movies that reach your sense of touch as well as your sight and hearing. Mond explains that when one's primal pleasures are consistently satisfied, that is a constant state of "bliss", there is little reason for instability. Moral education merely i9ncites people to be dissatisfied with the way things are.
