Nroug7: A door to a house is vital, however, if one does not build stairs then the door is pointless. In order for the door to be useful, stairs must follow.
Intelligence in ones life is vital, however, if one does not seek understanding then intelligence is wasted. In order for intelligence to be useful, understanding must follow.

or as the always wonderful Dr. Carl Sagan puts it.

“... the use of our intelligence quite properly gives us pleasure. In this respect the brain is like a muscle. When we think well, we feel good. Understanding is a kind of ecstasy.”

Nroug7: It's not religious, and someone was fairly close in this thread.
I do not quite get these stairs... hmm... I could think also about matrimony but after a door (marriage) there is long way forward, rather not stars.. also not for everyone marriage is vital :D

Well the same way I could say it like that.....
"A discovery for knowledge is vital, however, if one doesn't systematically analyze and sort out the information obtained then discovery is pointless. For the discovery to be useful, subsequent analysis and systematization must follow." :)

I'll take a shot at this.
The house could be a metaphor for life, The door an Opportunity, and the stairs, are the path traveled after you take the opportunity.

You built a treehouse?

I think I finally get it. It's all symbolic. A doorway that's open is a path, an opportunity to take, a goal accomplished that you have made it through. A stairway is a path, an obstacle to the door, a struggle.

In this way, basically it means that to have a goal of any meaning, requires that you have struggled to reach it, your path is dictated by the obstacles you take to reach it and accomplish. I can't explain a lick what the house is supposed to mean in this though.

If you take this figuratively, the stomach could be the "house" and the mouth its "door" and the throat its "stairs". Maybe..? Grasping at a straw there.

Or a non-ground floor apartment for another literal take.

But to win, you must be the first to answer/decypher/ reply with a post stating what my message really means. the victor will get a $5.99 game of their choice sometime next week (Im outta money till then lol) but it would be about midweek sometime.

Here is the message:

A door to a house is vital, however, if one does not build stairs then the door is pointless. In order for the door to be useful, stairs must follow.
