The “Hope” in Pandora

OM Times
Taking a look around our world today, especially when using social media and mainstream news, hope seems to be in short supply. We can still count off any number of the problems released in the ancient story of Pandora.
Wars, pestilence, greed, and the rest are still in plentiful supply around the planet. The ancients had a way of explaining how the problems of mankind originated and why. Even with a relatively open mind and positive attitude, the outcome of Pandora’s story remains a bit murky. Are we to think that hope is a positive thing, or one last remaining ‘problem’ to endure?
Might the trouble be in the translation? There are different ways to interpret the Ancient Greek narrative of Pandora’s Box into modern terms. While we may have a picture in mind, the word-puzzle remains to be deciphered fully.
Consider, too, that there was no definitive list of precisely “what” ills and problems were released from the ‘box,’ or jar, if we follow that bit of controversy. It was a container, with a lid, that could be opened and closed. Even with these differences, we are able to follow the story well enough, even to the point of picturing the curiosity that drove Pandora to open the box/jar in the first place.
