been reading on the topic of religion for gp...and the phrase "meaning of life" keep popping up...and i start to wonder what do people mean when they say "meaning of life"...and what's the meaning of my life? i'm also pretty amused that those gp essays on religion always seem to pit science against religion and they make it seem as if these two are very contrasting concepts...hmmm...they also say that 'religion is warm and assuring' while science is seen as 'cold' and emphasizes too much on hard facts...hmmm...i don't know...but don't you think facts speak louder? and i've always been fine without any religion...at least that's what i think of myself...Xp

and a random point: chanced upon the phrase "archilles' heels" and that got me thinking...according to legend, when archilles was still a baby, archilles' mum hold him by the ankle and dipped him in a river that's supposed to make him strong and unpenetrable (i think i spelt it wrongly but too lazy to go check dictionary)...so apparently because she was holding his ankle so that's why archilles' heel was unprotected and that became his weakest point...but i was wondering, just wondering, couldn't archilles' mum hold him by the other ankle and dip him in the river for a second time so that he would be fully protected?
