HUBRIS

I have been guilty of hubris in a couple different situations. One time, I got a good grade on a test and said i was the smartest man on the face of the Earth. I committed hubris because other people are a lot smarter than me, like people who go to Harvard and Princeton. Also, I have not even graduated from high school, so my intelligence has not even got to the highest it could be. I was being very arrogant with my comment, so I was guilty of hubris.

Another "ill" that flew out of the box was old age. If she did not release it then no one would grow old or die. That would seem good at first until the world became over populated which would lead to famine, which Pandora also released from the box.
