Mythology used to be about explaining things that we didn’t understand. Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, a child asked their dad, "Why does the world suck so much?" Dad didn’t know what to say, but he responded, "A woman named Pandora couldn’t mind her own business and opened a box she wasn’t suppose to. Then all hell broke loose."
Strangely enough, I believe the name of that child's mom name happened to be Pandora as well. A bogus story like this wouldn’t fly today but currently mythology inspires more than mean stories. Click through these mythological inspirations to see what I mean.
