Hatred is being taught as some sort of language, it is the first element you are introduced to learn. To not know the feeling of happiness can definitely have an affect on the actions of people. These innocent humans are not growing up to do the best of their ability all because of those who crave too much power. This is interfering with their everyday circumstances because they are not aware of how to socialize or to have the freedom they deserve. Winston, a wise man, explains how a society cannot endure hatred and cruelty by saying, “It would have no vitality. It would disintegrate. It would commit suicide.”(Winston 269). I agree with his statement because if a society were to consist of fear and suffer, it would not be able to last long.
