"The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" is a short story written by Ursula K. Le Guin. First published in 1973, it is a philosophical and thought-provoking tale that explores ethical and moral dilemmas. The story is set in the fictional city of Omelas, a seemingly idyllic and utopian place where happiness and prosperity abound. However, the city's prosperity is built upon a dark secret: the happiness of its inhabitants is contingent upon the suffering of one innocent child who is kept in abhorrent conditions. As the narrative unfolds, Le Guin challenges the reader to confront profound questions about the nature of happiness, sacrifice, and the ethical choices individuals make when faced with a morally troubling situation.
