The can of worms

Three LED lights (and one LED torch inside the can). When you open a can of worms you are doing what in Greek mythology Pandora did when she opened the "box" (a jar actually): all sorts of misery will escape and make human life what it is. But one of the evil things stayed in Pandora's box and is with us as well: hope. It may be the most vicious of all because it gives us the power to endure misery and carry on. Hope itself is a very ambivalent thing and Hesiod himself, the Greek writer around 700 B.C., was well aware of its flip side - illusion.
