Can I get a little feedback please on the one below? Is it animating or just laying there like a dead leaf?

Thanks in advance!

Furthermore, in his talk with Times reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin, Mr Bankman-Fried confessed much of his Washington DC work had been PR "masquerading as do-gooderism".

The greatest loss is the feeling of what has died within ourselves while we are alive.
