Mark wakes up the next morning feeling a little worse for wear. His head is139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyqi1qDN0L
pounding, and he can barely remember all the details of the previous night’s escapades.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqNlCMo2sn
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8e10irc1W
But as he takes in his luxurious surroundings and the expensive artwork adorning139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfen02218UM
his walls, he can’t help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. Today, Mark139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ1c5LGmJs
decides to indulge in some of his more refined interests. He begins by browsing a139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyfOXsdh93
local art gallery, admiring the latest collections, and making small talk with the139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEHxBvUUEg
staff. He’s always enjoyed art, and he takes pleasure in showing off his knowledge139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrYHi6y88i
and taste to anyone who will listen. After the gallery, Mark heads to a rare wine139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46bvxnpuOc
store, where he purchases a few bottles of vintage Bordeaux and a case of the finest139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1tZQFMuLh
champagne. He loves the feeling of exclusivity and sophistication that comes with139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSTw6mmH8H
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 his139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdPR7gSXFO
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 that139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVMjcMzLGy
something is missing. He knows that his friends are envious of his lifestyle, but he139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprCR2ZuEpN
can’t help but feel that their admiration is shallow and superficial. He wonders139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMVSvj6mRx
whether there’s more to life than just collecting expensive objects and showing them139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBRhdDujAE
off to others. As the evening wears on, Mark drinks more wine and becomes more139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5COhF9bBa
introspective. He starts to question whether his obsession with wealth and status is really139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XM6Brl7JC
worth the sacrifices he’s made. He thinks about the long hours at the office, the139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhei8nu233M
constant pressure to perform, and the toll that his lifestyle has taken on his139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXZVfnxtgo
personal relationships. But even as these thoughts creep in, Mark can’t help but feel a139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin8DWtp0CQ
sense of pride and satisfaction. He’s living the high life, and he knows that few139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3X1XDJIFz
others have achieved what he has. He tells himself that the sacrifices are worth139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF0c4MgQlj
it, that the pursuit of success is the ultimate goal, and that everything else139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPQ17FQdWX
will fall into place in due time. Little does he know, the emptiness and isolation139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY29VhjIKV
he feels are only the beginning of a downward spiral that will threaten to139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFEMDhLFVv
destroy everything he’s worked so hard for. The very things that he’s chasing –139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VgssqDOYr
wealth, status, and power – may end up being the very things that destroy him in the139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWmbUO1prs
