It was incredible such an interesting concept. When I started reading it I didn't know what I was getting into but this was truely gut wrench and I'm still unsure what I would do. You think it would be an easy decision but in reality we live in our own version Omelas our success always comes from comes down fall because at the end of the day if everyone is a winner no one can truely be a winner. I also think a lot of their joy sentence from the fact that they're grateful for what they do have because they see where they could be. Just like when we are able to recognize and get joy out of being grateful when realize what we have at others don't. To Some this up this is story poses an incredible philosophical question and makes you question whether at the end of the day group happiness out way one persons happiness.

"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by oedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain."
