Read the passage below from Anthem.
Yet as we walked back to the Home of the Street Sweepers, we felt that we wanted to sing, without
reason. So we were reprimanded tonight, in the dining hall, for without knowing it we had begun to sing
aloud some tune we had never heard. But it is not proper to sing without reason, save at the Social
Meetings.
"We are singing because we are happy," we answered the one of the Home Council who reprimanded us.
"Indeed you are happy," they answered. "How else can men be when they live for their brothers?"
And now, sitting here in our tunnel, we wonder about these words. It is forbidden, not to be happy. For, as
it has been explained to us, men are free and the earth belongs to them; and all things on earth belong to
all men, and the will of all men together is good for all, and so all men must be happy.
Explain the paradox that is demonstrated in the text above.*
