* Pandora *
(curiosity)
^[ "For the gods keep hidden from men the means of life." - Hesiod, Works and Days. ]^
Have you ever heard the story of Pandora's Box? It is a tale about a secret; it tells the story of the origin of sorrow...because of men, through a woman.
Some things are meant to be hidden and not found. Some things are better left unsaid. But, who is to judge and give the verdict on these things? Who is to say that these things are not supposed to be here? When it is here, it is here. When it is not here, it does not mean that it will not emerge.
We, as a rule, can never please everyone. Although we are allowed to try, most of the time we will find ourselves staring at failure right in the eye. Some people will tell us that they disagree and that their opinion is far better than ours. Who are we to say that they are wrong, right? Who are we to say that our opinion is actually the best?
Because things change and time flows. But, Time can never judge, too. What seems like wrong to others, may be right for us. What we can actually do is live in the present time and make do with what we have. What we have now is our reality and our life.
If you refuse to accept, if you still dwell in the past, if you decided not to budge, how are you going to live? Come on.
Taking the first step is always the hardest thing, I know. I have been there. I know how it feels. But, seriously, if you don't take it...how are you going to move? Being static is not life. Being static is not even death. Being static is nothing; it only means that you are fooling yourself.
