John brings up an excellent point. To those living in it, the stable, civilized world seems perfect. No discomfort, no suffering, no want for anything. However, John sees it as it really is. He sees it as boring and who dwell in it as slaves. He tells the Controller that he would rather have suffering because it meant happiness. Without unhappiness, how could one ever be truly happy? How can you be happy if you've never cried?
