Mark wakes up the next morning feeling a little worse for wear. His head is157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToHO2kDxkY
pounding, and he can barely remember all the details of the previous night’s escapades.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj8wN3UPKi
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChwU2Bw76D
But as he takes in his luxurious surroundings and the expensive artwork adorning157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfJ1s9vplN
his walls, he can’t help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. Today, Mark157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhkxV5Spjc
decides to indulge in some of his more refined interests. He begins by browsing a157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mWZB2KItj
local art gallery, admiring the latest collections, and making small talk with the157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixG9Sp3IVs
staff. He’s always enjoyed art, and he takes pleasure in showing off his knowledge157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcXO7cM9Ja
and taste to anyone who will listen. After the gallery, Mark heads to a rare wine157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy3uUaowId
store, where he purchases a few bottles of vintage Bordeaux and a case of the finest157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg77zvr5V09
champagne. He loves the feeling of exclusivity and sophistication that comes with157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdgllNhD1L
owning such high-end products, and he knows that his friends will be impressed when he shows them off. In the afternoon, Mark hosts a small gathering at his157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pnRiY4csg
apartment, inviting a few close friends over to sample the wine and admire his collection of art. As he pours glasses and makes small talk, he can’t help but feel a sense of superiority and control. He knows that his wealth and taste give him an advantage over others, and he enjoys using that power to his advantage. But even as he revels in his success and material possessions, Mark can’t shake the feeling that157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6koiBN2oV
something is missing. He knows that his friends are envious of his lifestyle, but he157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfNbMAhRZb
can’t help but feel that their admiration is shallow and superficial. He wonders157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf8GrvdIHS
whether there’s more to life than just collecting expensive objects and showing them157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN5EQvTJQ4
off to others. As the evening wears on, Mark drinks more wine and becomes more157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKNgiaeCVu
introspective. He starts to question whether his obsession with wealth and status is really157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp2klw8Kr9
worth the sacrifices he’s made. He thinks about the long hours at the office, the157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrKZQiqeYN
constant pressure to perform, and the toll that his lifestyle has taken on his157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KwPDzg3wy
personal relationships. But even as these thoughts creep in, Mark can’t help but feel a157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt6uPGJHD2
sense of pride and satisfaction. He’s living the high life, and he knows that few157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHtRDnluF8
others have achieved what he has. He tells himself that the sacrifices are worth157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1IZ3wEMYQ
it, that the pursuit of success is the ultimate goal, and that everything else157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AUudKfvw5
will fall into place in due time. Little does he know, the emptiness and isolation157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ttbi9xDY
he feels are only the beginning of a downward spiral that will threaten to157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhxpfSg6Xf
destroy everything he’s worked so hard for. The very things that he’s chasing –157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPezYcGhtSC
wealth, status, and power – may end up being the very things that destroy him in the157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoW0YfFSXu
