There are as many ways to live, as many meanings to life, as many philosophies of the nature of things as there are beings in the universe. There's really nothing much to learn, because there are endless things to learn.

One of my favorite comments on Hacker News was posted a few days ago. To quote:

Depends how detailed you want to get. All of us have a need to be social and creative, IMO, and Gray would say each sex has its own traits which do not necessarily hold all the time but can be instructive. I gathered this from his "Men are from Mars..." book.

Haha you're right! I did not know there were two. Pretty sure the Mars author is the better known of the two.

Possibly, though I only know the Mars/Venus guy because Amazon used to recommend those books based on the fact that is bought ‘Straw Dogs’
