In the story the author mentions a child that was not seen as perfect by the people at Omelas so they had the child locked up away from the society of Omelas and the condition for being happy in Omela is to keep the child there away from everyone and the outside world since he represents something that is unknown and not perfect to the people there. The story explains that the only resolution to happiness such as a place like Omela is to turn your back on pain and unhappiness but being happy also has a dark side since it sometimes requires selfishness. It is real and it does exist and people are abundantly happy there. The author expresses that Omelas is not a dream city.

In “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” by Ursula Le Guin the author describes a fantasy world in which everything seems perfect and happiness is prosperous in the city of Omelas.
