It is said that the god Prometheus stole fire from heaven and gave it to mankind, and mankind learned to use fire, and the main god Zeus was very annoyed. Zeus decided to bring disaster to the world as well. He ordered his son, Hezhestus, the god of fire, to make a woman out of clay named Pandora, which means "the one who is endowed with all goodness." Every god has given her something to make her perfect. Aphrodite gave her beauty, Hermes gave her a sharp tongue, and Apollo gave her the talent of **. Zeus gave Pandora a sealed box full of scourges, calamities, and pestilences for her to give to the man who married her. Zeus sent this beauty to earth, and the gods and mortals were wandering the land leisurely and merry, and everyone was amazed and envious when they saw this incomparably beautiful woman, for there had never been such a woman in man.
Pandora immediately went to Epimetheus, the "Awakened One", who was the younger brother of Prometheus and was an honest and honest man. Prometheus was convinced that Zeus had bad intentions towards mankind and warned his brother Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus. But he did not listen to the advice and married the beautiful Pandora. Pandora holds her gift in both hands, a large sealed gift box. As she approached Epimetheus, she suddenly opened the lid. Before Epimetheus could see what the box contained, a black smoke of scourge flew out of the box and filled the sky like a dark cloud. The black smoke was full of sickness, madness, calamity, sin, jealousy, adultery, theft, greed, and all sorts of evils, which were scattered rapidly to the earth. And before the beautiful thing "Hope", which Athena, the goddess of wisdom, quietly placed at the bottom of the box in order to save the fate of mankind, flew out of the box, the treacherous Pandora closed the box.
What flew out of the box was all calamity, and they were sprinkled all over the world, but fortunately hope remained in our hands, so that we could endure this unfortunate life. So where is the hope of mankind? That is the will of man. Perhaps, the only magic weapon that man has to fight against desire is will. Only strong willpower, coupled with the rational judgment of human beings, can tightly close the door of desire.
If people indulge their desires and open the Pandora's box in their hearts, they will bring us disaster. Therefore, in our lives, we must constantly improve our self-restraint and constantly remind ourselves to keep ourselves away from bad desires, so as to stay away from disasters.
