      @@Zren89 the funny part is, the another (older, I think) version of the myth of pandora is that she opened it intentionally, knowing full well the consequences. That version is basically that Pandora was the Olympian God’s nerf bat to the humans (all men) who were living happy lives with no women. It’s basically that women are the root of all things bad in the world. You do have to remember that Ancient Greece wasn’t exactly what we’d call politically correct by modern standards.

      ​@@oddmind55I'm not talking about individual behavior of members of a species that seems to go against the nature of the species. I'm talking about evolutionary history. You know how there's a bunch of plant-derived foods humans can eat that can poison dogs and cats? And how dogs and cats can live on pure lean protein whereas humans get "rabbit starvation" if we try? It's because some of our recent evolutionary ancestors were herbivores, so we have liver enzymes for detoxifying mildly poisonous plants and don't have enough kidney function to filter out the nitrogen from a whole diet of lean protein.

    The problem about evil, and good is that good is sometimes seen as evil, and evil seems great in comparison.
    The most notable is destruction, creation, freedoms, and the like.
    Destruction of some things can be seen as good, until you look at the finer details.
    Creation of some things can be seen as evil, until seen in details.
    Freedom for some is slavery for others.
    Example for destroying things in the name of good is destroying historical monuments in the name of politics.
    Even though there is no political gain from it, and only generates a bigger political divide.
    Example for creation is nuclear fission, and only being seen as a weapon, and not away to provide electricity.
    Example for freedom is if people are free to do what they want. Then it'll be like the movie the Purge, but in real life.
    In the process making good, and evil a gray area.

    No. That hope thing is wrong. Hope is in the box because it is evil. Out of all the evil she let go, Hope is the only thing she made sure to keep while ignoring everything else. Hope was far to evil to be released upon mankind. As long as you have hope, you will never make anything happen yourself. See hope keeps you down, and blames luck.
