With the end of the comprehensive nucleic acid testing in Wuhan, the haze brought by the new crown pneumonia has finally dissipated. Since the beginning of civilization, the plague has been constantly entangled with human beings like a bone-attached gangrene, and the chopping has been constantly lingering. So this time, let's tell a story about how the plague appeared.
A long, long time ago, the universe was born in a fog, in which the giant Kaos (meaning chaos) was conceived, and he — well, it's too long ago, given the space constraints (editorial pressure) this story will be told later, let's start with a story that never went so long ago.
Prometheus (meaning foresight and foresight) helped humanity steal fire, and it blew up the head of the main god Zeus (king of the gods). But the fire has spread, and it is impossible to grab it back. So the god king of Olympus thought hard and decided to find a way to find a way to find a place and teach mankind how to behave.
He gathered the gods of Olympus and ordered Hephaestus (the god of fire and craftsmanship) to create a beautiful doll in the image of the goddesses. Next, he had Artemis (the god of nature, hunting and bows and arrows) breathe the doll into life and give her a vivid appearance; hermes (the god of business, messenger and wind) to give her eloquent and clever eloquence; Aphrodite (the goddess of love, beauty and desire) gave her ceramic skin, charming fragrance and all feminine gestures... When everything is done, Zeus stands in front of a flawless maiden who names her pandora (meaning all gifts).
Pandora received not only all the gifts from the gods, but also gifts from the gods to all mankind, because the golden box she carried with her was filled with God's curse on mankind. As soon as humans accepted her, the box would open immediately, unleashing all evil. Athena (the goddess of wisdom, weaving, and war) learns of this conspiracy and gives Pandora the opportunity to give her a gorgeous crown, giving her improvisational wisdom and sneaking her gift "hope" into the bottom of the box.
Zeus brought the maiden to the earth where humans and animals roamed together. Legend has it that humans were made of clay by Prometheus in his own image, which means that until Pandora appeared, no woman existed in the world. When did those rough men ever see such a beautiful existence? The crowd just looked at the young girl, and they were so intoxicated that they couldn't extricate themselves, and they couldn't even say a word. At the suggestion of the God King, Pandora walked over to epimetheus (meaning hindsight and hindsight), the representative of humanity, and she offered a gold box in both hands and pleaded with him to marry him.
Epimetheus was prometheus's brother, and as for how he became human, I will not say for the time being. Prometheus, of course, had warned his brother not to accept the god-king's gift, or humanity would be in trouble. But the simple Epimetheus was so decisive that he agreed to the request of the beautiful maiden Pandora without even thinking about it. The lid of the golden box opened at that moment, greed, jealousy, hypocrisy, war and plague... The curses of the gods shot out like lightning and spread rapidly throughout the earth. Zeus was very satisfied, and felt that there was no doubt that mankind would die, so he went back to Mount Olympus to watch the play. In the face of such a terrible situation, people were all frightened and helpless, and only Pandora, who was out of the control of the God King, was still awake. She closed the lid decisively, leaving behind her last gift, "Hope."
Until then, mankind had lived carefree without calamity, without heavy labor, without the plague that tormented man. Since the box was opened, the disease began to spread unchecked, the heat plague ruthlessly seized life, and human beings began to suffer continuously, be tortured by life, and experienced all kinds of pain and sorrow. But no matter what, there is still a glimmer of "hope" that guides people to fight desperately and strive for self-improvement in difficult situations.
This is still true today.
