"The Japanese word ikigai is formed of two Japanese characters, or kanji: ‘iki’ [生き], meaning life, and ‘gai’ [甲斐], meaning value or worth. Ikigai, then, is the value of life, or happiness in life. Put simply, it’s the reason you get up in the morning".
This book brought me a lot of joy. I highly recommend it to everyone!...more

well, the story in shorWell worth the read, it's a very powerful story that everyone must read at some point in their lives. & We're doomed, comrades.
well, the story in short was that some animals on a farm rebel, throw out the farmer and decide to run the place themselves, influenced by the old major's speech about animals freedom. two pigs, snowball and Napoleon, take the responsibility of running the farm. Seven laws written by Snowball.
"Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. No animal shall wear clothes. No animal shall sleep in a bed. No animal shall drink alcohol. No animal shall kill any other animal. All animals are equal."
the rebellion was a success, and the animals met every week to debate the farm rules. Snowball begins making plans to build a windmill, which will provide electricity and an easier life for the animals, but Napoleon opposes such a plan, chases snowball from the farm forever, and take over things, he becomes the only ruler using power, brainwashing, lying and manipulation. the windmill was to be built after all, Napoleon tells the animals that it was his idea, and blames snowball for all the hardships they faced. as Napoleon and the pigs ruled, the farm became only worse, it was terrible, the 7 rules were all broken and changed to what suited the pigs, and all reduced to one rule: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” ?
it's a powerful thought provoking piece of fiction. a world where "All (Animals) Are Equal" would solve all problems — but since some (animals) act on the principle that "Some Are More Equal Than Others.", we are never having a peaceful world....more
