| Obama's "Hope" campaign by Frank Shepard Fairey |
The title of this post is borrowed from Obama's book, but this one is actually about Pandora and her box. Many only knows that Pandora, who is bestowed with all sorts of beauty which made her a wonder to behold, is gods' curse for men. When she was given to Epimetheus as bride, the gods gave her a box filled by evil things, personally hand-picked by each and every one of them, to make men's life full of sorrow and regrets. As curiosity got the better of her, she opened the box and all hell broke loose.
What many people don't know is that there is one good thing left in that box . It's hope.
A lot of people are scared of trying something new because they are afraid that they would open their own personal Pandora's box. I wish they know the rest of the story. Even in great misfortune, we can always find comfort.
Hope is powerful. Stendhal once said, "a very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love." And love is magical.
