Pandora's Box

Zeus ordered Hephaestus to make him a daughter out of clay. Hephaestus made a woman named Pandora.
Zeus sent Pandora down to Earth to marry a lonely man named Epimetheus. Epimetheus' brother, Prometheus, was giving people fire without first asking Zeus, so Zeus decided to seek revenge. Zeus gave Pandora a heavily locked box and he gave the key to Epimetheus giving both of them instructions not to open it, but Zeus assume that the brothers' curiosity would be too much for the brothers to control.
One day while Epimetheus was asleep, Pandora stole the key and opened the box. Once opened all sort of malicious things flew out of the box and into the world. Pandora immeadiately became overcome with guilt, she quickly slammed the box shut. Epimetheus woke up to the commotion and when Pandora opened the box to show him the emptiness, one last thing flew out. Hope.

I honestly don't have any idea what "evil" I would squandor. I don't think I have had enough "bad" experiences to answer the question.
