A supposedly inspirational animation:


Kiwi!

An explanation from ISFAT -> Flying Kiwis, Broken Windows & Dony Permedi:

"Kiwi! is an animation about a Kiwi - a type of bird that cannot fly, who spends its whole life working towards achieving his dream. The kiwi strived to create the illusion that it was flying over a forest as it soared down through the sky from the top of a cliff. Thus, the kiwi spent what must have been its whole life nailing trees to the side of a cliff. All this, to fulfil its one dream of flying, even though it was technically unable to. There are several powerful messages behind Kiwi, but mainly, it makes you think: no matter how absurd and seemingly out of reach your dreams are, what's stopping you from achieving them?"


Yet, the real moral of the story is that no matter how hard you work to construct a delusion, ultimately it is all for naught as nothing has changed in objective reality.

Besides which, your self-delusion could get you injured, or even killed (just think of what happens when this Kiwi eventually hits the ground; notice his conspicuous lack of a parachute).

[Addendum: If you think the Kiwi achieved its dream, you'll think someone forging a University degree scroll has fulfilled his dream of getting a degree.]
