    Amazing story about that elusive mystical place we rarely glimpse because we're too embroiled in the mundane.

      Like the dream of winning the lottery, it's a warning not to let our fantasies become our goal, else we'll forget to live our lives.

      Yes it does. On New Year's Eve into New Years, Metv had a Twilight Zone marathon. That was one of the episodes aired. Sterling knew his shit well.

    So this man was drawn away by the cares of life and ends up with the common regrets of one that puts superficial success ahead of a true desire. That may well be the point in the story, setting aside imagination and wonder of youth for the mechanizations of life. A common story, but not every ones. Some choose to deal with the scorn of the world for it. Almost sounds like he rejected heaven for the cares of the world, in another sense.
    It does seem silly now that he enjoyed the height of success and when it came to life's downsides and it grew mundane to him, then he wanted the door. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Again, a common story of most people.
