"'But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.'
'In fact,' said Mustapha Mond, 'you're claiming the right to be unhappy.'
'All right then,' said the Savage defiantly, 'I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.'" pg. 240
The Savage wants to live like we live today. He does not want to be controlled. The Controller thinks that he is choosing to be unhappy be choosing to live this way. I say good for him. He is standing up for what he believes in. He wants to be free. He wants to be able to make his own choices. People should experience pain and suffering, good and bad times, and believe in God if they want to. John stands for living like a real human. He has had enough of the World State and wants to return to his style of living, which the Controller believes is unhappiness. But that it what he chooses to do.
