APPROACH TODAY LIKE YESTERDAY AS IF IT WERE ALREADY SPENT

If asked to look, ask the director to point in which direction.

Prometheus Bound

Vulcan was one of those gods who are best left alone.  His haunt was the deep cores of earth.  He melded earth and produced gold and silver and titanium and other elements that made the gods revere his wants.  However, he was also a cunning and jealous god and he knew the gods looked with favor on their pet Prometheus.  Notwithstanding when his precious fire was stolen he appeared at the court of Zeus and sought redress.  Think Zeus with the knowledge of fire, man will soon become brave and dauntless.  Soon they will no longer worship us and will turn their minds to creating for themselves an earth of pleasure.  We will be forgotten as they spend their time on creating objects and will have no time on worshipping us.  Zeus glanced on Prometheus and was startled to see him behaving most ungraciously towards Pandora. Immediately Prometheus was taken and bound to a boulder on a cliff overlooking the Aegean.  The shrieks of massive condors became his companions as they feasted on his liver.

Pandora's Box

When the gods had created man, they named him Apometheus and his brother Prometheus.  One was the opposite of the other.  The brothers enjoyed each other but soon became depressed.  The gods consulted each other and happily arrived at a solution.  The men must be depressed since they lack the need for anxiety or the need for decision.  If they had to feel anxiety or make decisions then surely they would no longer be depressed.  Hermes was speedily sent to the men carrying a box.  Such a lovely box, a square box, a box made of metal.  Hermes also being the sneakiest among the gods was able to put the box where the two brothers would soon find it.  As the morose and decidely bored brothers entered their living area, it was quickly discovered.  Apometheus without a thought began to try to open it.  Prometheus backed off, he had never seen such a thing.  As usual, Apometheus won because he never asked.  The box was pried open and oh, to what a disarray of fiendish shapes and never before heard howling winds.  Apometheus flushed to the core with fear tried to slam shut the dreadful thing and did.  Quietly a soft voice was heard.  Let me out or you will surely face an eternity of torment.  Apometheus declined.  Prometheus, on the other hand, had carefully weighed his options.  What more can happen then what already has and having correctly surmised the cunning hand of the gods in all this, opened the box.  Out stepped a beauty, thick brown tresses and totally dressed in white pleated gown, sleeveless and belted with a gold cord.  My name is Pandora, I have been especially created for you to give hope to man and to soothe his depression.

All right, some of you may have heard other versions.  But I say mine is right.  And might I add who amongst you was there at the time to present facts to the contrary?

THE REASON IS

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN IN THE FINE MESH OF LIVING CALLED TUNDRA.  I JUST COINED THAT WORD FOR LACK OF KNOWING HOW YOU WOULD CALL IT.  THEREFORE IN THE LOGIC OF LIVING SINCE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN LIVE IT AS IF YOU KNEW THAT.
