Mark wakes up the next morning feeling a little worse for wear. His head is185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OJAvCuVAm
pounding, and he can barely remember all the details of the previous night’s escapades.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HFlgFYsk5
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdaHrTd0lo
But as he takes in his luxurious surroundings and the expensive artwork adorning185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVRXOijQS8
his walls, he can’t help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. Today, Mark185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaUzSoublt
decides to indulge in some of his more refined interests. He begins by browsing a185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwYFbYc7fY
local art gallery, admiring the latest collections, and making small talk with the185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBa1kMiRcy
staff. He’s always enjoyed art, and he takes pleasure in showing off his knowledge185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv68JHQkzh
and taste to anyone who will listen. After the gallery, Mark heads to a rare wine185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh1BAk5z5J
store, where he purchases a few bottles of vintage Bordeaux and a case of the finest185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY53Nt0vgHh
champagne. He loves the feeling of exclusivity and sophistication that comes with185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXXBt2ECFz
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 his185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYLWRhC4cc
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 that185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafY6lBGm2a
something is missing. He knows that his friends are envious of his lifestyle, but he185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyYGuy4Hsz
can’t help but feel that their admiration is shallow and superficial. He wonders185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4aeDnj5Eg
whether there’s more to life than just collecting expensive objects and showing them185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgStA25UEL
off to others. As the evening wears on, Mark drinks more wine and becomes more185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuOvcQnBPi
introspective. He starts to question whether his obsession with wealth and status is really185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWbt6IN8Ms
worth the sacrifices he’s made. He thinks about the long hours at the office, the185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBpSDzBGTQ
constant pressure to perform, and the toll that his lifestyle has taken on his185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUUHEmdTiV
personal relationships. But even as these thoughts creep in, Mark can’t help but feel a185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxhq6MYbno
sense of pride and satisfaction. He’s living the high life, and he knows that few185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWwPhbfhPv
others have achieved what he has. He tells himself that the sacrifices are worth185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6pg5SW8Mu
it, that the pursuit of success is the ultimate goal, and that everything else185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZrm7tDavv
will fall into place in due time. Little does he know, the emptiness and isolation185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9WOqZJd6Y
he feels are only the beginning of a downward spiral that will threaten to185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5VEvaZWR7
destroy everything he’s worked so hard for. The very things that he’s chasing –185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JaOwju4oB
wealth, status, and power – may end up being the very things that destroy him in the185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti6w876H8g
