  Flow is a string of “best moments” or moments when we are at our best. These best moments “usually occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limit, in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile” (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990).   Ikigai is about the activities that give our life meaning and purpose. This brings meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in our lives, while also contributing to the good of others. Everyone has an ikigai – their particular intersection of passion, talent, and potential to benefit others. It is only a matter of time to find it.

Though even with an organization formed by 98% of the population, fear evolved into anger, and anger turned into violence. People grew hostile and decapitation became a part of the revolution. Negotiation between the members of Congress occurred on whether the protests should be peaceful or aggressive, and they chose to be cruel. Some historians believed this paved the way for the harsh and vicious nature of the revolution. However, a man named Dr. Joseph Guillotine rose to propose equality in capital punishment. He suggested that men, despite their position in the social hierarchy, should go through a quick and painless execution, as such, the guillotine. A sharp, heavy metal suspended mid-air by a rope, falling swiftly into the neck of ...
