The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin
5.0
I'm going to give myself an existential crisis reading these stories....
what do you even say after reading this?????
What would you sacrifice for your own happiness? Is greater good more important than the life of an individual?
Think of our society- where we knowing allow some to suffer, so others can prosper/be safe/be content
would that be okay if it was just one person suffering so all could be happy????
Do you live with that? do you walk away? what good would your actions do? how do you justify your actions and live with yourself?
Ursula K. Le Guin hurt my soul with this one
