Greek mythology is fascinating and the story of Pandoras box is a spell binding myth.Prometheus was a Titan who was a champion of human-kind and was known for his wily intelligence. He stole the secret of fire from the God Zeus and gave it to mortals. But the theft of fire angered Zeus and as one of his punishments he ordered Hephaestus to create the first woman, Pandora, as part of the punishment of mankind. (Now that doesnt seem quite fair that he considered this a punishment does it?) Prometheus warned his brother not to accept any gifts from Zeus but he didnt listen and he married Pandora. Pandora had been given a large jar (which we now call a box) and was instructed never to open it. Along with this beautiful box Pandora was also given the gift of curiosity.One day she decided she would take a peek inside and open the box, not out of malice but because curiosity got the best of her. When she did open the lid to see what was inside all of the evils, ills, sicknesses and burdensome labor that mankind had not know before escaped from the jar. She closed the jar immediately after opening it but it was too late as everything had been unleashed on mankind except at the very bottom of her jar there lay hope.As you survey the rooms in your home do you feel a Pandoras box has been opened and the box released clutter, disorganization, an overwhelming mess, and disruption to your daily life? But remember in Pandoras box there was also hope. No matter how awful you feel your home is in terms of clutter there is always hope that you can clear the clutter.
