Hapiness

The Ones Who Walk away from Omelas was a very touching story. It teaches us about basic human behavior and psychology. Everyone in the city of Omelas has attained ultimate happiness, outside of one kid whom the people torment to continue to have that happiness. The cruelty of those humans was put in a drastic manner. After reading this story and attempting to connect that to life today I had a few questions that could not be answered in my headI . If we were all given the opportunity to live in a city of unattainable happiness we would obviously take it. The question I asked is though some people cared for the child, could you personally promote the brutality displayed in the story for your own personal gain? The even better question is would you be able to sacrifice and be the tormented for the happiness of the multitude? In those question lies the fundamental basics of human psychology.I believe there are two types of people in this world; the selfish and the self-less. Could you walk away from the city of Omelas?
