Pandora's Box

so the gods in their infinite wisdom, give to this little girl, a closed, very ornately wrapped but closed none the less, box that is rumored to hold all of the world's evil, all of the demons in the world, all the predators, all of the nastiness in the world...is closed up in this box.

little girls are naturally curious. you tell her, "don't open that box", you scold her, "bad things, TERRIBLE THINGS will come out of that box" DO NOT OPEN IT.

DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT LIFTING THE LID

FOR EVEN THE MINUTEST PEEK

WHO'S GOING TO KNOW?

HOW TERRIBLE COULD IT BE???

you know how the story ends...she opens the damn box just for one small momentto take the smallest look at what might be in there, could it really be all THAT scary??

and all of the world's wickedness, and all the world's greed, and all the world's diseases

sprang from this one little girl's prettily wrapped package

because she was commandedDO NOT OPEN THE BOX

...i'm sorry, but if you TELL me NOT to do something

THAT'S THE FIRST THING IM GOING TO DO

Pandorabtw, Hope survived being slammed back into the box, I CAN keep a lid on some things. Chance and Luck well, took their chances among the unlucky.

Hell is what you make of it too, you know.and i annoyed the crap out of Satan, so i kinda have a free pass to get the hell out of his sight...(i get that a lot)
