Allan K. Chalmers' philosophy of happiness sums up the reasons why life expectancy is so short in Equality 7-2501's society. She wrote;
"The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."
Without the freedom to choose their occupations, no one to love, and no future, its a wonder the citizens lived that long.
