Mark wakes up the next morning feeling a little worse for wear. His head is163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFFOwhoNWh
pounding, and he can barely remember all the details of the previous night’s escapades.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvkzNKf6uY
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAiutSFxM2
But as he takes in his luxurious surroundings and the expensive artwork adorning163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8MXITAmNc
his walls, he can’t help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. Today, Mark163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Pm78OIYz
decides to indulge in some of his more refined interests. He begins by browsing a163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmWPiFFFIN
local art gallery, admiring the latest collections, and making small talk with the163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyb8qmDDb0
staff. He’s always enjoyed art, and he takes pleasure in showing off his knowledge163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpi5R9YuBw
and taste to anyone who will listen. After the gallery, Mark heads to a rare wine163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdwaFlXbtG
store, where he purchases a few bottles of vintage Bordeaux and a case of the finest163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoiU88ktk0
champagne. He loves the feeling of exclusivity and sophistication that comes with163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCBydOUYDq
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 his163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvHcKopxXy
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 that163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBx9gIeU58
something is missing. He knows that his friends are envious of his lifestyle, but he163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1jeaWkvGm
can’t help but feel that their admiration is shallow and superficial. He wonders163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4edSdPYa0t
whether there’s more to life than just collecting expensive objects and showing them163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1sX6ZUBoD
off to others. As the evening wears on, Mark drinks more wine and becomes more163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjBEkWu3Ej
introspective. He starts to question whether his obsession with wealth and status is really163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8115AoJcy
worth the sacrifices he’s made. He thinks about the long hours at the office, the163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgnJyCkKXo
constant pressure to perform, and the toll that his lifestyle has taken on his163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC0VkWqWIM
personal relationships. But even as these thoughts creep in, Mark can’t help but feel a163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0olTlTQkb9
sense of pride and satisfaction. He’s living the high life, and he knows that few163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfb5WNgfdG
others have achieved what he has. He tells himself that the sacrifices are worth163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep8RjS2jI6
it, that the pursuit of success is the ultimate goal, and that everything else163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTSHPmt1Ug
will fall into place in due time. Little does he know, the emptiness and isolation163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgTg5cZOjo
he feels are only the beginning of a downward spiral that will threaten to163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDfz1U5DMt
destroy everything he’s worked so hard for. The very things that he’s chasing –163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ61NRwNxJD
wealth, status, and power – may end up being the very things that destroy him in the163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8AFIHgimA
