We all know the story of Pandora’s Box. Pandora was given a box that she was told not to open, or it would bring about destruction on the world. She held onto the box and couldn’t help but open it. Sure enough once opened the box could not be closed. They say that’s when pain and suffering entered the world. What could she do about it? It was too late, the box had been opened. She couldn’t go back and say “oops” and close the thing, it was too far gone for that to happen. Makes me wonder at times what kinds of boxes I have that I’ve yet to open. Will they bring about good fortune? Will they bring about bad things? Will I be able to close them once I open them? There is no way to tell what will happen if/when this curse will come upon me. Life is like that, it can be destructive at times. It can be terrible or it can be good. We have to weigh the good and the bad and see where it will all take us. There isn’t a time in life where it will get easier. Life will continue to get worse if ...

Life is like that, it can be destructive at times. It can be terrible or it can be good. We have to weigh the good and the bad and see where it will all take us. There isn’t a time in life where it will get easier. Life will continue to get worse if we let it.
But with all the misery we can let life become something wonderful. If we so choose. We have to be able to make that decision to make life a good thing. There isn’t a thing in this life that won’t come about because we wish it. Maybe that doesn’t make sense, I’m sure it will to someone out there. But for now, let’s just allow it not to make sense.
Wishes come and go at times. We need to be able to decide if they’re worth it or not. Opening Pandora’s Box was a big mistake on her part. But that was her own choosing, it was her choice to make. I don’t suppose it will ever matter in this life, maybe in the life to come, but for now it doesn’t have a care in the world.
