There is an example of 'happy' person who believes in the system: Tom Parsons. Yet, as we see, despite him swallowing everything, raising his kids in the beliefs of the party, etc., he still isn't happy at his core and, by talking in his sleep, inevitably demonstrates he wants something different ... Parsons is determined to accept the party philosophy, but still isn't able to convince himself to do so.
