let me share mine...[ Summarized! ]
I like the Greek Creation myth:
With Zeus defeated his father Kronus and he began to furnish Gaia with life and Uranus with stars.
Zeus had his sons Prometheus & Epimetheus, he told them to go to Earth and create men and animals and give them each a gift. When he went to see what gift to give man Epimetheus said he had used all the gifts.
Pandora was convinced that because the gods and goddesses had showered so many glorious gifts, that this one would also be wonderful. One day when Epimetheus was gone she opened the box.
Out of the box flew all of the horrors which plague the world today - pain, sickness, envy, greed. Upon hearing Pandora's screams Epimetheus rushed home and fastened the lid shut, but all of the evils had already escaped.
Later that night they heard a voice coming from the box saying,
"Let me out. I am hope."
Pandora and Epimetheus released her and she flew out into the world to give hope to humankind.
