Someone goes to the doctor. Patient says: Doc, I’m depressed. Life seems harsh and cruel. I feel alone in a threatening world.
Doctor says: You should go to Omelas. They have this kid chained up in the basement which makes life awesome and great in the city. Some time there will pep you right up.
Patient says: But Doctor… I am the kid chained in the basement.
Everybody laughs. Drum roll. Curtains.
