Clearly, Jonas does does not like this idea at all.  This
            is why he runs away from the community.
As Jonas goes along
            in the process of receiving memories from the Giver, he realizes that the people of his
            community have lost something very important.  He realizes that people in the community
            have no pain, but he does not think this is worth the cost.  He feels very unhappy about
            the idea that the others can never experience the things that he has
            experienced.
Because of this, Jonas decides to destroy the
            community by running away.  He knows that this will set free all his memories and the
            other people will start to feel all the things he has
            felt.
If Jonas liked the idea of eliminating true pleasure
            so as to eliminate pain, he would not have run away.
