“For Zeus had packed the box full of all the terrible evils he could think of. Out of the box poured disease and poverty. Out came misery, out came death, out came sadness – all shaped like tiny buzzing moths.
The creatures stung Pandora over and over again and she slammed the lid shut. Epimetheus ran into the room to see why she was crying in pain. Pandora could still hear a voice calling to her from the box, pleading with her to be let out. Epimetheus agreed that nothing inside the box could be worse than the horrors that had already been released, so they opened the lid once more.
All that remained in the box was Hope.”
Hope, rather than a blessing, is one of the greatest sufferings of mankind for it saps him of his will to act, leaving him as nothing more than bystander in his own life. One can either hope that things turn out for the best or one can act and make sure that they do.
This is one of the most misunderstood myths of all time for modern man cannot fully understand the mind of the ancient Greek and has presumed that Hope was a gift.
