In the end, even a perfect city like Omelas had it’s imperfect part, if you chose to ignore then you would be like the people of Omelas who gains happiness for a lifetime. All this reflects on our society in terms where everything we own mentally or physically must come with sacrificing some sort of the equivalent. The author then explained that the guilt in this case is being canceled by the thoughts of an reverse situation where if more than 1,000 people sacrifice their happy lives for that one kid, then they would indeed be guilty then. I find this saying interesting because in the later part of the story, a child or “it” is introduced where basically Omelas’s peace is apparently built upon the suffering of this child. There is a part in the story where the author describes how guilt can’t be found in Omelas because guilt would be the cause of ending happiness and breaking the city down. The story is written in a way where there is few to no story plot and it is just the author Ursula describing Omelas, the utopian city and how happy everyone is from children to adults. Though at the start it was pretty confusing how the story is going to go and if there really is any story at all, I find it interesting since it felt like I am taken to a virtual tour of Omelas. I would rate The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas a 7/10.
