Pandora - a story of misfortune and hope.

The gods presented Pandora with a box into which each had put something harmful, and forbade her ever to open it. Pandora was possessed of a lively curiosity. she had to know what was in the box. One day she lifted the lid - and out flew plagues innumerable, sorrow and mischief for mankind. In terror Pandora clapped the lid down, but too late. One good thing, however, was there - Hope. It was the only good thing the casket held among the many evils, and it remains to this day mankinds sole comfort in misfortune.

Each day one sees hope and other good things. We need to notice more. We need to share the good things we encounter.
