Pandora's Box is about how Zeus had Hephaestus make him a daughter out of clay. Her name was Pandora.
Epimetheus and Promatheus were brothers. Zeus was not happy with Prometheus because he gave people fire without asking Zeus first.
Zeus created Pandora to marry Epimetheus and get back at them.
Zeus gave Pandora a box. She was to never open it. The key to the box was given to her husband and he was told to never open the box as well. Zeus was very sure that either Epimetheus or Promatheus's curiosity would get the better of them and either of them would open the box
Pandora ended up being the curious one and one day she stole the key to the box from her husband and she opened the box. When she did so out flew every bad thing people had never experienced before. Every kind of disease and hate.
When Pandora opened the box to show her husband how empty the box was a small bug flew out of the box and told Pandora that is was hope.
The world how had hate, crime, sickness and envy. And hope.
Some evil I would like to squelch is judgement. People are afraid to be who they are or say how they truly feel because they are afraid of what others will think. I know I experience that feeling everyday and I'd like to think I worry about what others think less than most. It's hard for anyone to live completely care free of what others think of you and I wish it wasn't like that. I want to squelch the fear of being your true personality and the fear of expressing your thoughts.
