This week I am discussing the old mythological story of Pandora's Box, or Jar!
Pandora's Box is a Greek myth in which Pandora, the first woman created by the gods, is given a box (or jar) and told not to open it. Driven by curiosity, she opens the box, releasing all the evils of the world—sorrow, disease, and misfortune. However, at the bottom of the box, she finds hope, which remains inside to help humanity endure the hardships unleashed by her actions.
