The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

This short story was a little disturbing to me. At first I thought it was just some hippies in a weird little world, but then I kept reading. It made me think about how selfish people can be. I thought that even though it sounds, looks, and feels cruel most people in the world would let that one life suffer for their happiness. For the people who walked away from Omelas those people represent the very few in this world that actually care, maybe not enough to do something about it but they care enough that they don't want to be around it. This short story is just a little reminder about how cold this world is and how much people just don't care. Something might get to somebody enough to piss them off or make them sad but they don't care enough to do something about it. That's reality.
