Pandora's Box

Pandora, the first woman, was created by Hepheastus after Zues asked him to. She was given to Epimetheus after his brother, Prometheus stole fire from the heavens and gave it to man on earth. Pandora was given a jar/box (depending on the source) with the instruction not to open it. Curiosity, given to her by the gods, got the best of her and she opened it, letting out many evils/ills into the world. By the time she closed the lid only hope remained. 
 
Well, once again a woman ruined everything for men. Way.to.go. Kidding of course. But I do think that it is interesting that in both the Story of Eden and Pandora's Box a woman is at fault for allowing evil into the world. Additionally, I think that it is interesting that in both stories the man was made from earth; one version of Pandora's Box that I read mentioned the fact that nearly all plant life comes from the earth so why no human life as well. 

I would like to get rid of judgement. Why can't we just let people live. And a lack of judgement goes beyond treating everybody the same way. It is a mindset where you stop yourself from attacking them in you mind because of a decision or action they have made. Its obnoxious and I would like to see it end. The world would be much improved.
