For whatever reason, if that child ever stopped suffering, the utopia would fall apart. The point of the story was basically "is all the happiness in the world worth it if it hurts someone else" and that sort of stuff.

This is the definition of art. The Clown, an entertainer whose suffering is invisible to all but a select group, produces a kind of happiness for the masses that few will ever even begin to approach. That the Clown must suffer in his isolation to produce this joy is the reason for its rarity; few would have the fortitude to seek out such agony, let alone find pleasure, or even exuberance, in its pursuit. For the product of pain is pleasure, and to seek pleasure without pain is the folly of man. Be like the Clown. Embrace your suffering. Produce your passion. For life is meaningless without it.
