Answers
Answer:
Aldous Huxley has criticized the people of this world that they are not getting peace and have pleasures in their life. The author has described about the pandemic situation that the people of this world was facing in 1914 during the first world war. How much people were threatened regarding their lives. Everywhere there was completely chaos and disorder. People have no pleasures in their life and their mind was full of restlessness and worries that that was going to happen in their coming next days. Every human being as well as animals also were slaughtered brutally. The meaning of pleasures differs from people to people it doesn't remain same always. e.g some people gets pleasures in helping others, some in playing games, some in watching television, some in reading stories books, and some in dancing, singing, and listening music etc. State of pleasures vary it is a state of happiness which we get from doing our favourite works that I have mentioned above everyone has their choices by doing which they get pleasures.
Nowadays people are getting faster and busier in their life it's not their fault it's all because of the modernization and machinations because of the developments in various field be are becoming busy and only labours mentally and got no time to notice the precious and beautiful moments that we ever receive in our life because of the new inventions. people have no time to be full their life of pleasures we get pleasures in everything just like on trifling acts also we can get pleasure but a mind full of business and annoyance can't get pleasure in heaven also we must be calm and peaceful in any situation. Children get pleasures in trifling acts and enjoy their life because if their innocence mind that has no knowledge of this world they have no tensions regarding anything. A peaceful and calm mind can get pleasure in anything and anywhere but an annoyed and restless mind can't get pleasure in anything and anywhere even in the heaven also they can't get pleasure as it said that heaven is the most beautiful place. Our mind gets peace only when it is connected to the nature a good environment is very neccessary for peace of mind but we are maintaining a gap between us and the nature due to the new inventions, modernization and machinations because of these things we don't labour physically we labours mentally only and get addicted to it and unable to notice the beautiness of the nature surrounding us. Nature makes our mind free from all the tensions of this world. It makes our mind calm and peaceful. The people who are connected to the nature are spiritual people they are joyous, healthy and active from thier brain these types of people enjoy each and every moment of their life, they remain calm in any situation. The main reason for weaknesses is also the distance between us and the nature. nowadays the world is facing a great threat that is covid 19 our mind is totally disturbed and we aren't getting pleasure all these things are happening because we have done some mistakes regarding nature. We have disturbed the balance and management of the nature and creates problems for us. Sometimes when we are in problems we make ourselves alone but it's not good to be alone we must join more and more companies of joyous and happy people it freshes our mind and we are capable of solving our problems more and more companies of happy and gay people vanishes our loneliness and loneliness increases our tensions. We must always remain happy and all of us know that a happy mind can solve any problem very easily. Some people gets pleasures in the drops of rain also. We must search pleasures in small things and the real pleasures lies in the company of the nature it's beautiness makes our mind careful and let's forget everything for a while. We must enjoy things careless because our life is very short and it's precious so why to waste it taking a lot of tensions just we must enjoy it. God knows we are going to have it again or not. it's just like an ice cream enjoy before it melts. that is pleasure.
