The ones who walk away from Omelas Le Guin's beautiful, perceptive short story unfolds a moral conundrum as it reveals the stunning costs of a seemingly utopian town's comforts. If our comfort depends on the suffering of others, Le Guin asks, how should we feel about these comforts, and what should we do? Is the "greater good" worth the sacrifice? Is such sacrifice even practical? Would you walk away from Omelas? or would you stay? Remember that everyone isn't just doing "well", they are doing great. The standard of living is very high. Would you leave the child if you leave? If you leave him, everyone will remain happy (except the child, who will suffer greatly). Be sure to post your initial thoughtful post by midnight, Friday and respond to at least one other post with a thoughtful comment by midnight, Sunday.
