Living as an economist:
"Imagine an iron house having not a single window and virtually indestructible, with all its inmates sound asleep and about to die of suffocation. Dying in their sleep, they won't feel the pain of death. Now if you raise a shout to wake a few of the lighter sleepers, making these unfortunate few suffer the irrevocable death, do you really think you are doing them a good turn?"
"But if a few wake up, you can't say there is no hope of destroying the iron house" - Lu Xun
