The myth of Pandora's Box is legendary but really... think about it long and hard for just a few moments... do that for me...
She opens the box (or jar or container) and lets out all the evils and despairs of the world. Only Hope remained in the box when she quickly closed it again.
Think about that if the box contained all the evils and despairs... what was Hope doing in there?
It's because Hope can be a very evil emotion.
If the box contained all the evils that would plague mankind I think it's safe to say that Hope is a plague and not the remedy of the others that were let out.
Look what people have done when they've 'held out Hope' about something important to them... those who hold onto Hope like a dog on a bone have gotten hurt and fell into despair or hopelessness...
So... am I right?
If all the evils that would plague mankind were in the box, wouldn't that mean Hope is one of them?
