Achilles's heel ( May 24, 2012)

Achilles, otherwise all mighty and invincible, had a heel as his mortal spot. If any harm was casted in the heel's way, Achilles would die instantly. During the siege of Troy, a spear hit achilles by his heel and he instantly deceased. Everyone has an achilles's heel, their weak spot. But that is not my point today. Today I went to PASMUN conference in my MUN attires. While I like the change in fashion, the high heels were killing me.The hard leather rubbed against my heel and created a burning pain. That was what inspired me to title today's journal. Not because I am going to talk about my fatal flaw, but because I thought it would be a good opener for my topic later. I realized today that women goes to great length for beauty. I mean, I've known this before, but never until today had I realized that beauty( or social view of beauty) comes at a great cause. Just like at my HEEL! It BURNS! No wonder some women wanted to change the way society see beauty in women. I don't think that is really possible within a short period of time, but still...Maybe in the future, someone can invent heels that don't harm my heels. So I can wear them without much of a struggle.
