So you just do random things and call it something. Hope fuels ideas. You know, something fine arts liberals used to praise. Tell you what, hopeless. Go step on a rake and let it smack you in the face, there.. you are doing something.

Quote:
According to Hesiod, when Prometheus stole fire from heaven, Zeus, the king of the gods, took vengeance by presenting Pandora to Prometheus' brother Epimetheus. Pandora opened a jar left in her care containing sickness, death and many other unspecified evils which were then released into the world.[4] Though she hastened to close the container, only one thing was left behind – usually translated as Hope, though it could also have the pessimistic meaning of "deceptive expectation".[5]

From this story has grown the idiom "to open a Pandora's box", meaning to do or start something that will cause many unforeseen problems.[6] A modern, more colloquial equivalent is "to open a can of worms".[7]
See. I didn't hope you would go and inform yourself. I went and dug up the information myself and placed it here.
