In 1973, Ursula LeGuin wrote a short philosophical story that describes the perfect, peaceful, graceful city. A place with no hunger or sorrow, crime or discontent. A place where no one was homeless, lacked fulfilling work, and the arts and sciences flourished. Omelas. A place with a dark and terrible secret. And some walked away, unable and unwilling to pay that price.
“They leave Omelas, they walk ahead into the darkness, and they do not come back. The place they go towards is a place even less imaginable to most of us than the city of happiness.” Ursula LeGuin
