Pandora's Box - The greatest Head Fake?

I was reading the story of the 'Pandora's Box' and in Greek Mythology, it goes something like this:

Zeus decided to punish Prometheus and created the woman named Pandora who later in life marries Prometheus's brother. She is a naive woman but has been given a strong sense of curiosity. When she is given a jar by Zeus to take care of but never to be opened, because of this curiosity, she opens it and lets the evil out of it. We are told that that the only thing that remained in the jar was Hope. This was the salve that was provided by the gods for all the ills that had been unleashed on the world.

Now just think...is it not Hope that is the biggest evil and not the rest of the ills. Hope that tells us that there is a bright future, hope that tells us that life will be good, hope that tell us that we should keep striving, hope that tells us that the grass is greener on the other side, hope that tells us that's gods justice can be delayed but one day will be dealt on the wrongdoers.

As i said earlier, the greatest head fake anyone?....

P.S: I just seriously HOPE that i am completely wrong on this.
