2. Although the people of Omelas are fully aware of the child's suffering, those who remain in Omelas don't seem to feel any guilt. In fact, Le Guin reinforces this in her story. Do you think it's possible to constantly feel guilty about the misery of others? Please explain and provide examples.
I do not think that it is possible for people to constantly feel guilty because eventually they will forget about the misery of others and begin to live their own lives. I believe that the human race is a more selfish kind of creature and will concentrate on what they want in their lives, rather than feel bad for their peers.
An example of this is when people are walking downtown, past homeless people; they always seem to ask us for money or something they are in need of but most of us, including myself, keep on walking. Many people feel guilty as they continue walking by, but soon try to rub that feeling off and go on about their day. People, a greedy kind of species, have learned to get by in life without feeling guilty all the time. It is a good thing for people to feel guilty for some time but eventually we have to forgive ourselves and live our lives.
