Very nice, it was good but it really didn't quite bring a smile to my face because I can't see how the poor bird could avoid the splat! at the bottom, especially after it worked so hard sad.gif

Personally, I thought that was beautiful =)
I think it realy summarised life... You can work your whole life to achieve something, even if it's just for 15 seconds of glory!
While the outcome may have been ghory, he felt the best that he ever had, for those 2 minutes, because he'd achieved his life long dream. He'd worked his whole life for that. That sense of accomplishment!
As long as you have those 2 minutes, the rest of the world doesn't matter.
And even though he fell to his death, atleast he died happy.

I thought I'd also post what my friend said, I thought it was really deep. With his permission here it is:

QUOTE
"It does seem to reflect the inherent flaws in man's outlook upon life, specifically the ability to deny reality in order to make it more pallatable. It seems like a pretty good summary of human life, falling to fly and what not. Regardless, part of the beauty of life is the fact that its simply suicide. An eternal existance would be anything but meaningful."

Give me your opinions! I'd love to hear them =)

I think its depth lies in it being so simple... I think anyone would be able to relate to Kiwi and create their own 'backstory' for it. smile.gif

Eh well, atleast we agree on the cute factor! happy.gif

That makes me think of Jade's avatar for some reason, if you ever make one of those happy birthday threads to yourself you must include this quote tongue.gif

It's cute on it's own level. It does have that message of doing what it takes to fulfill a dream even though it does have it's nasty setbacks to it. Thing is I really can't tell if Kiwi is going down a cliff or not....must have been the way the trees were. But I like this and also Pony....both have it's own meanings and it makes me a bit reflective here and there.

Yes, the idea of self-destructing and fooling yourself into thinking it's a triumph is totally inspiring. I'm inspired.
