Omelas: To Walk or Stay?

We were asked the question; if you could create a utopian society dependent only on the suffering of one innocent child would you do it? My answer, the answer, should be a resounding no. Not only do I believe that it is wrong to inflict suffering on any living thing but I also completely reject the idea that there could be a utopian society in a world charged by greed and intolerance. Even if it were possible why should one child be subjected to constant suffering so that the rest of us may be eternally blissful? What makes us more deserving of happiness than that child? Why should they know nothing but fear and pain for the entirety of their existence? Anyone who answers that they would subject someone else to this torture for their own comforts is either saying so only circumstantially (being that this is all a hypothetical thought experiment) or they are just plain bad people, lacking any compassion for others and caring only of their own insignificant existence. I would not simply walk away from Omelas, I would destroy it, freeing the tortured child and condemning all whom had stayed to death. This may seem harsh but the reality of the situation is that those who stayed knew the secret of their utopia and chose their happiness over the life of a child. They are then, by association, guilty. As guilty as anyone whom actually tortures for they knew and did nothing, they deserve not the life they have been given and should be cast out of Omelas and into an eternal sleep. Hypothetically speaking.
