A reading of George Orwell's 1946 essay, Why I Write.
"And looking back through my work, I see that it is invariably where I lacked a POLITICAL purpose that I wrote lifeless books and was betrayed into purple passages, sentences without meaning, decorative adjectives and humbug generally."
A starkly beautiful and tragic animated short that screams Kafka and Orwell, while being beautifully punctuated by a lonely piano. Maybe not 2.5 minutes that will rev up your engines for the work week, but certainly a meditation that may cause some reflection if you're attached to desk amidst cubicle walls.
