Pandora's Box

In the story of Pandora's box, Pandora, the first woman is created and put on earth by Hephaestus. At this time, Zeus gives her a mysterious box that he tells her not to open. However, Zeus knew that she was human, and therefore curious. When Pandora opened the box, all evil was released. Zeus did not punish her, as he had expected this and the evil released was punishment enough.
This story shares many similarities to Genesis 3. In both stories, a woman is curious and defiant of (a) God. The result of both of these actions committed was shown to be extremely negative toward the future of all mankind. The main difference that I find interesting is that Zeus believes that Pandora's own mistake yielded enough consequences, and that he did not have to punish her as God did to Eve.

If I could squelch any evil, it would be bad driving. Not only is it dangerous, irresponsible, and the cause of many deaths, it is also fucking annoying. Nothing is worse than being put in an unsafe or simply bothersome situation by one of many drivers who does not understand the many nuances of traffic laws and driving etiquette.
