A joke:

A man goes to the doctor. He says that he is extremely depressed, that life seems harsh and cruel. He says that he feels alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. The doctor says; "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That ought to pick you up."

The man then bursts into tears.

He says. "But doctor...I am Pagliacci."
