Them all; everything. John claimed everything about life. The good, the bad, and the ugly. He saw what life looked like whittled down to the most basic it could be and hated it. A world without disease, without pain, without struggle, without death even could not satisfy him because it came at a high price. Relieving the world of disease eliminates the heroism that comes from suffering; removing the causes of pain comes at the price of intoxication; no struggle means no reward; and no understanding of death means no understanding of life. Fully knowledgeable of both sides of life, John chooses to have everything in order to have the good. Literally and figuratively, he refuses to swallow the pill that the Controller offers him.
