Then the voice asks, “why not?”
Based on this passage from George Orwell’s book, 1984.
Winston Adams is being questioned by O’Brien.
‘You could not create such a world as you have just described. It is a
dream. It is impossible.’
‘Why?’
‘It is impossible to found a civilization on fear and hatred and cruelty.
It would never endure.’
‘Why not?’
‘It would have no vitality. It would disintegrate. It would commit
suicide.’
‘Nonsense. “
‘You are under the impression that hatred is more exhausting
than love. ‘
‘Why should it be? ‘
‘And if it were, what difference would that make?‘
