The protagonist, Joey, is a music teacher with a dream of being a musician, but dies when he gets a chance to play, and helps No. 22 find the spark, and he realizes the true meaning of life after being reborn.
Joey is the epitome of each of us ordinary people, and he tells us with his experience that the true meaning of life is not a great dream, and life itself is happy.
What is the meaning of life? Does ordinary life make sense?
We can all find the answer from this "Spiritual Journey".
01 Ordinary is the norm of life
Joey is a part-time music teacher at a school.
His dream is to become a pianist, to play on stage, but to make a living doing a boring job that he doesn't like.
He was finally regularized and had a stable job, and his mom was happy.
Later, he had a chance to play on stage with a well-known musician, and he was ecstatic, but he died unexpectedly.
His soul came to the "place of birth", where he saw his ordinary life.
When he was a child, under the guidance of his father, he fell in love with music, but he did not get a chance to perform, and he was rejected again and again.
Finally, being a regular teacher in middle school, dreams are out of reach, life is boring and boring.
He felt that his life was so ordinary, not worth mentioning, meaningless.
We all have a lot of dreams, always feel that life can not be ordinary, to achieve success, so desperately try, but in the end found that ordinary is the norm of life, we are still an ordinary person in the end.
02 The meaning of life is to live in the moment
Joey got the coveted opportunity to perform, but unexpectedly ended his life, and his soul came to the other side of life.
He didn't want to die, he wanted to go back to Earth to finish that performance, so he desperately fled and came to the place where life came from.
In the Academy of Minds, his mission is to help Soul 22 find the spark of life so that she can be reborn.
Number 22, who had lived for thousands of years in his birth, was a purposeless soul who did not want to reincarnate and had no interest in human life.
By chance, Joey and Number 22 returned to Earth together, and Soul 22 came to Joey's body, and Joey's soul came to the body of a cat.
Soul No. 22, eating delicious pizza, watching the autumn leaves fall, and slowly fell in love with this human world.
They returned to the world where souls were born, and the spark of life on number 22 became complete.
What is a spark? The spark is not the goal, but to enjoy life well, and when we have the will to live, it lights up the spark of life.
To be alive is to enjoy every day, to enjoy every moment.
The meaning of life is not how big the goal is, how many achievements, but in being able to live every day well, be kind and cherish every moment.
03 Living an ordinary life well is the best life
Joey said that No. 22 was a spark he had bought, but in fact he was nothing, and No. 22 had lost hope of being alive.
Joey returned to earth with the spark of the 22nd and completed the show.
The performance was a success and he joined the band after the show was completed.
He asked the band musicians what to do next, and the musicians told him to come back tomorrow night and play out today's content.
After everything was obtained, Joey suddenly felt lost.
What is his life for? Is it for your musical dreams? He thought that with all this, life would be different, and the result would be no different.
The musician told him that a small fish had been looking for the "ocean", and the old fish told him that it was in the ocean, but the fish said: I am just in the water, what I want is the ocean.
Life is the experience of being alive, to taste a delicious pizza, to see a fallen leaf slowly falling, to feel the summer wind, to listen to a piece of music, to chat with the owner of the barbershop.......
There are many small blessings in life, and the beauty of life lies in every day.
Every day we live, even if it is ordinary, is worth cherishing.
Human life is not easy, we come to the human world, in order to experience life, to live an ordinary life well, every ordinary day will also have light.
What if it doesn't work out? Life is still good, as long as we experience it with our hearts.
"It is not necessary to be alive to have success, but it is also good to only like to watch the sky, walk, and eat pizza."
How will you spend this life?
I haven't thought about it yet, but I know that I will cherish every minute of the moment.
