We've all heard it before, different variations on how greed adds nothing of importance to the life of a person. And this story is yet another that shows us how we might be missing out on happiness, because of our desire for more.
The story also shows the result of losing your grip on reality. The protagonist forgets to be realistic and holds on to a foolish wish, which brings forth a wasted life.
As could be seen from the story, his life was one a lot of people dream of. A happy family, even grandchildren. Yet, he was too caught up in his delusional wishes that he forgot how good a 'normal life' could be.
However, the story could also reflect the mind of a young person. And how not everything is crystal clear... or how a child doesn't usually think things through before taking it to the extreme.
Overall, it is a one-shot worth reading.
