1984 Ponderings

After having read 1984 I often think about the quarrels Winston had with himself, and the Party. More than that, I find myself reflecting on the part of the book when Winston is tortured and cedes his malcontent attitude toward the Party and gives in to ebulliently loving Big Brother. I found myself thinking that the book as a whole was very hypocritical (which doesn't detract from its value). In the book Orwell insinuates that good/bad is a matter of opinion and is not objective, yet in the book is looked at as a warning toward this type of future. My question is that if good and bad are not objective, then why is this future bad thing and something that we should be warned against? Also, the idea of newspeak had me wondering about the purpose of language. There are some who say that people are born inherently knowing what is good and bad, that somehow they just know. Yet the implications of this assumption are huge. For, good and bad are English words and it would be crazy to assume babies are born knowing English. The other side might argue that the babies inherently understand the "idea" of good and bad, but then, how does one express or have an idea without using some form of language? Some people disparage this point of view, because it makes them feel very uncomfortable, as Winston felt uncomfortable when he couldn't prove O'Brien wrong about there being no objective reality, and therfore whatever the Party did was justifiable.
