Pandora’s Box
“Outraged at the gift of fire to man, Zeus ordered Hephaestus to create a beautiful mortal, Pandora (All-gifted). Each Olympian god and godess gave Pandora a gift. Hermes gift was a deceptive heart and a lying tongue. Prometheus had warned his slow-witted brother Epimetheus about accepting gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus was dazzled by Pandora’s beautty. Pandora brought a container with her. She was forbidden from opening it. According to the story, her curiosity won out and she opened the container. A legion of evil things, designed to afflict man, swarmed from the container and scattered over the entire earth. Hope was the only good thing in the container and it is said that hope kept mankind from perishing from the plagues in Pandora’s box.”
“Do you know the story of Pandora’s box? Pandora opens the box and lets all the evils out into the world, and then hope comes out of the bottom of the box. Did you ever wonder what it was doing in there in the first place? Don’t you realize that hope is the most devastating evil of all?
Because without hope you’ll never be disappointed.

I think the boss I am assigned to doesn’t like me. And I haven’t dealt with someone like her before. Therefore, I have no idea how to handle this.
I can’t see my future. I don’t see the future I would like to have. I see no success, no love, no trusty friends, no one dependable in the future. This is making me sad. I’ve seen a little too much fake-ness recently and that makes my heart cold.
Nowadays, even my dog don’t bother about me. I’m going to die alone someday and I’m preparing myself for it now.
