The City Where Happiness Comes With a Price
Imagine a city where joy flows like water. Bells ring across Omelas as the Festival of Summer begins, sending swallows soaring into the air. Processions wind through streets lined with red-roofed houses and moss-covered gardens. Some move with dignified grace, led by elders in mauve robes; others dance wildly to tambourines. All paths lead to the Green Fields, where young people prepare horses for races beneath mountains crowned with white-gold fire against the deep blue sky. Omelas has no kings ruling with iron fists, no slaves suffering under oppression, no stock exchange breeding greed, no secret police instilling fear. Yet these aren't simple folk living primitively. They're sophisticated people who've mastered the crucial art of distinguishing between what brings true happiness and what leads to destruction. In our world, we often equate happiness with naivety and pain with depth. We believe true wisdom comes only through suffering. Omelas challenges this notion. Its citizens have found happiness that coexists with intellectual complexity and moral awareness. They celebrate life in all its sensory glory-if you wish to imagine orgies, go ahead. There is no guilt in Omelas, no shame in pleasure freely given and received.
