-pandora's box-
In Greek mythology,
there were once two brothers named
Epimetheus and Prometheus.
This pair of brothers were unhappy with the gods and
annoyed the most powerful of Gods, Zeus.
However, this pair of brothers weren't
the first of mortals to anger him.
Humans have angered him from time to time in the past,
and as punishment, he took the element Fire away from them.
With Fire gone, they could not cook their own food and they can't
keep themselves warm.
As such they were even more upset with Zeus.
However, Prometheus knew that Hephaetus the blacksmith,
who lived in the Isle of Lemons
owns the element Fire.
He travelled all the way to where Hephaetus lived
and stole Fire from him, and gave it to the mortals.
When Zeus learnt about what Prometheus had done,
he was furious and decided to punish the mortals due their
lack of respect.
He (Zeus) came up with a plan.
A plan to punish the brothers.
Together with Hephaetus, they both created
a woman out of clay and goddess Athene breathed
a breath of life into it. Aphrodite shaped her into a beauty
and Hermes taught her the ways of deceit and charm.
Zeus named her Pandora, and gave her to Epimetheus as a gift.
When Epimetheus laid his eyes on her,
he had fallen for her charm and beauty instantly,
thinking that such a beaut will not cause any harm to humans.
With that, he took her hand in marriage.
Despite many warnings from his brother not to accept any gifts
from Zeus, he did not heed them.
Pleased that his plan had succeded,
Zeus than gave Pandora a box
as a wedding gift and told her not to open it.
She promised not to open the box.
However, of all things she was taught by the gods and goddess,
she wasn't taught the cure to curiosity.
She was greatly curious about the contents in the box.
Many a times she was tempted to open the box,
to see what was inside
the box that Zeus had fobid her to open at any cost.
Finally, she couldn't resist the temptations any longer and
opened the box!
Out came bursting Death, Misery, Diseases, Poverty,
Sadness, Greed, Jealousy, and many other terrible evils that
Zeus had packed in.
Seeing what she had done, Pandora was scared.
She quickly close the lid of the box to prevent any more
ill happenings, however she was too late.
Most of the contents were already spilled out.
What remains in the box was Hope.
In her state of flutter, she had sealed
Hope away, forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~ ........ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Knowing this myth made me realised that
hope is something that is hard to come by
as it's sealed up, wating to be released one day.
Knowing this also made me understand why
so many kinds of people are around.
Knowing this made me yearn for hope more and more

-木兰情-
我看的见云在天上混乱的飞
我听的见滚滚沙场埋一滴泪
这是谁的沙漠
我忘了我是谁
又是谁让这天灰
醒在黑山睡在黄河风吹往北
昨日故乡东市骏马在等着谁
铁衣下的你我
从患难到心碎
我问天是白是黑
一颗心葬了几滴泪
一生情背我往前飞
记住这天地中的美
沧海世界
一眼成灰
我想喝家里的井水
却吞下生死的滋味
就让我敬往事一杯
对自己说
绝不后退
醒在黑山睡在黄河风吹往北
昨日故乡东市骏马在等着谁
铁衣下的你我
从患难到心碎
我问天是白是黑
lately is just ridiculous....
hope is something that is hard to come by
that's why pandora sealed hope up
and did not unleash it....isn't it?
