And more about Dora
A couple of days after Dora opened the box, after she threw up from the anxiety of knowing, she had a moment of clarity, of true sadness. For all that she had seen had given her perspective, one not so personal but more accurate. And she was humbled by the depth of feeling that she hadn't known before, and she vowed to respect that sadness and honor it with her heart.

Ignorance is Piss
Oh, I mean bliss.
Pandora. She fucked it up for all of us. Now all we have is a reference and enough awareness of the story that we use it in business meetings all the time. Except instead of saying, 'better not do that, you'll open a Pandora's Box...' we say, 'that's not really a shitstorm you want to deal with is it?' Okay, close enough.
What do you imagine really happened? Do you think some sort of ghostly spirits of unanticipated stuff flew out of that box?
No, I think Pandora didn't see a thing, but I bet she felt it in her gut. That nauseating ick, the low-level fever that burned her heart, the guilt and dread seeping from her pores. Why? Why did she have to open that damn box? And why haven't we learned?
