Pandora’s Box

The story of Pandora’s Box is derived from Greek mythology, which explores the conflict between despair and hope, pessimism and optimism, and misery and happiness. Legend says that this box was always meant to remain closed; but everything changed once it was finally opened. “All the evils of pain, sorrow, jealousy, greed, cunning, and malice were unleashed like insects, covering the sky. Inside the box remained a small, shining stone, upon which were engraved the letters of one word: Hope. Should a person ever find themselves overcome by misery, let this myth be a lesson in seeking the silver lining and finding hope.
