This is an very inspiring animation, which I first watched when it came out back in 2020 and rewatched it.
I liked this aspect that a spark isn’t the purpose of life but the enthusiasm to live. Simply noticing and enjoying the tiniest, simplest details of life, like when these got 22’s attention and filled her last spot.Thank you for your comment.

an very inspiring animation = a very inspiring animation

I agree with you on the inspiring message of Soul. Nevertheless, I couldn’t approve of the form through which the message was conveyed. I personally found it too whimsical. This weird type of form negatively impacted on the great message.
I think this animation was trying to tell us that you shouldn’t do something great in order to feel happy. Life is also in watching the leaves, simply walking and being in the moment and learn how to make yourself happy by the things you do every day! It is not necessary to become someone else or go somewhere special, you already have what you want. You should just find that part in yourself.
Such a philosophical comment!

1. tell us that you shouldn’t = tell us that we shouldn’t
2. and learn how to = and learning how to … (in parallel to the other gerunds)
3. life is also in watching the leaves = this sentences appears to be ambiguous and strange perhaps due to being translated literally from Persian.
This animation was one of the best ones I’ve ever had and it was really good and awesome that I would like too watch it again. Joe Gardner was really spectfull for his life .
