This is an opinion based question, but I would love to give you another point of view.
In the book “The Giver”, Jonas lives in a very “black and white” society. There is no feeling. There is no enjoyment. Everything is... the same.
Of course this is what they wanted the society to be like, but they could not understand when they took away all the feelings of pain and suffering, they took away all the feelings of love as well.
