Perhaps 1% of the forum will follow/appreciate this. But still had to write it, as it’s a perfect analogy.
Or maybe the episode where Mickey Rooney plays a jockey who desperately wishes to become big because he thinks that will get him respect, only to realize once his wish is granted the horror of it.
