Wow.Predivno napisano ! Na šta smo spremni za vlastitu "sreću" ? Vrijedi li patnja jednog stvorenja , da bi stonine bili sretni ? Svi mi želimo da se promjene stvari. Ali , ko je spreman da te stvari uzme u svoje ruke i da dela ? Velike reference i sa našim svijetom ,koji je pun patnje da bi nekolicina moglo lijepo živjeti. Svi mi okrećemo leđa od problema, jer ako ne vidimo , problem ne postoji. Izgleda da ljudi ne shvaćaju da odlaženjem iz Omelasa, problem i dalje postoji i da nisu ništa bolji od onih koji ostaju. Ne pomažu jadnom djetetu nikako Stvarno jaka priča !!
How much is one person's happiness worth? That's the central question in this philosophical short story. One child is left to continually suffer and endure unimaginable pain so that the people of Omelas are able to live in bliss. Some of the people go down to the room to see the child, in its filth and misery. Some of them are disgusted by what they see, but they go about their days, not going to feel called to change anything. But some people, thankfully, are moved enough to leave Omelas altogether as a protest against the child's suffering. One of the most thought-provoking short stories I've read.
“We already live here – in the narrow, foul, dark prison we let our ignorance, fear, and hatred build for us and keep us in, here in the splendid, beautiful city of life. . . .” damn right we are
One — if not the best short story I’ve ever read. 4.5 stars
Ist das Glück einer ganzen Stadt, das Leid eines einzelnen Kindes wert?
Verstörende Kurzgeschichte, die einen zum nachdenken über unser privilegiertes Leben gibt und welches Leid wir von Schwächeren dafür in Kauf nehmen.
The ones who walk away do the right thing for themselves. No doubt.
Would you willingly accept one person in absolute misery for its lifetime and come face to face to its situation and hardship if you and everyone you know would gain the perfect life from it? I doubt I could.
