This animation is remarkable. It speaks directly to my heart.
It's a story of a man who lives in a city submerged by flooding over the years. He lives at this house alone - eating by himself, keeping himself company. As the water rises, he is forced to add additional levels to his home to keep dry and spends days working - in rain or shine. When he finishes the next level, he organizes the room and accidentally drops his pipe down the lower levels of his home.
He gears up in scuba gear and swims down, one level at a time. At each level, he pauses and a scene from the past plays. At each lower level, you will find him reliving moments of his life.
This is such an inspirational animation. Why didn't that man just pack up and leave his house like everyone else? What was his drive to stay there?
Sometimes we make these extremely rash decisions based on our current preoccupations and we fail to see the bigger picture. Sure, take the easy way out and leave everything. Simple enough; but is it really good enough?
We focus too much on the issues that we often forget the positive aspects of it all. In this case, memories of the better times and what you've learned in that span of time. When we actually take a breather and reevaluate our lives just for a moment, I think we can learn to appreciate our current stage in life.
Maybe I'm not making sense to anyone else, but at least I'm making sense to myself.
Enjoy life.
