I wish I could find the blog - sadly I can’t - but several years ago I read one of the best things I ever saw on the internet . . . and it was about the Three Stooges.
Whoever the author was, he said we admire different stooges in different phases of our lives.
When we’re little kids we love Curly because he’s just a big kid who wants to have fun.
When we’re teenagers we secretly identify with Moe because he’s a bossy teenager at heart who can’t get the world to bend to his wishes.
When we’re adults we quietly sympathize with Larry because he, just like adults, just wants everyone to get along and be happy with the nice, little things in life.
I wish I could find that blog.
