We meet the villagers who are not burdened, simple, or unequal. A city only conceived by the reader, but the following few pages will then tear it down all the same, indicating that regardless of how all of us can few a beautiful thing, the underlying misery that supports the happiness as a foundation is not always bearable. A land of peace, prosperity, and plentiful bounties where the people were “mature, intelligent, and passionate … whose lives were not wretched.” It gives the reader the chance and availability to imagine and picture their own perfect city. Overlooking upon the village, we soar across and see the happiness pervade the land. With the way the character is told with an omniscient narrator watching down upon the village, it allows a sense of ambiguity and mystery, almost as if it’s a mythical and unbelievable society… it certainly sounds like it through their description of “happiness, joy, and peace”. And so let me introduce to you the story that spurred it all: The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas.

It’s happened far too many times and with media control, it’s very certainly possible as well. Often times things are missed, things are ignored, or things are swept under the table to keep people, the organization, the business, and the industry happy. At first look through the comments about this short story, I realized this was something I just had to write about, and how it can pertain to healthcare and technology. A characteristic that can only be detrimental and inhibitive of our growth and maturation of the human race. So many things happen in this world that we often remain oblivious from, either by choice for plausible deniability or just the lack of interest. A satirical look at what the world has to give up and sacrifice for the greater good, for the happiness of others, and more importantly for the concept of “ignorance is bliss”. A few days ago, someone asked about short stories, and the story above ^^, was one of the top voted ones. Of course, and like most things that I have written about here, they have been topics that are not just spurred and touched by my coworkers and colleagues, but from Reddit as well.
