Ooh, ooh! I love it! I've always had a similar attitude about destiny, so this really speaks to me. :)

I'm happy to hear this. In Greek mythology, Destiny is unavoidable and often negative. I can see how Pandora would want to ditch it. But there are always those folks who are sure they'd get the prize ...

Great destinies so often lead to great destruction.
