Author's Note: There was this story in Greek mythology about the first woman created by the gods named Pandora. Now the gods gave gifts, including this box from Zeus himself. (The renowned Pandora's box.) Pandora was told never to open this box for in this box imprisoned things that could destroy mankind. But Pandora's overflowing curiosity made her open the box one day. As she opened it, out came suffering, sickness, death, hate, envy and all other dreadful things that would create havoc to humanity. Pandora, on a last minute as she realized her mistake, managed to close the lid. So she saved one thing. Hope remains in the box. With hope, it was said, humanity can survive amidst all those other pestilence that came out of the box.
