The Place Where You Hate and Love Everything

I finished reading 1984 by George Orwell a couple days ago, and man, if you haven't read anything by him yet, you really need to. He has this thing where he writes about things that make you hate the book and everything in it, but can't say it's terrible because you love how it's written. I don't get it, it just happens. It left me completely confused afterwards, and I just love it.

It's about this post-apociliptic world where there are only 3 huge warring kingdoms and how everyone is controlled. In one of them, this man is part of the government, but everyone in government is supposed to love what they do and stay dumb. Or they kill you. That kind of thing. But they do it secretively and tell no one.

Also, while were at it, the thing that I loved most was how they manipulated the past to be whatever they said. They can make anything true just by changing records of it, erasing the proof. That's something most people would never even think of.

But in the end, the book shows just one thing- if we let society control us, we aren't ourselves anymore. We're just some twisted view that has nothing to with us at all. You can't have everything be true and good and perfect, because to make that happen we have to do some lying cheating terrible things. It's a shout out for life as it should be, not a quest for perfection.
