Mark wakes up the next morning feeling a little worse for wear. His head is109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkAB5sdOZP
pounding, and he can barely remember all the details of the previous night’s escapades.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Ymvfx8Vc
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowr4gp9v3a
But as he takes in his luxurious surroundings and the expensive artwork adorning109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzE7WFhulu
his walls, he can’t help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. Today, Mark109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ024BzFuA
decides to indulge in some of his more refined interests. He begins by browsing a109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt1037c41f
local art gallery, admiring the latest collections, and making small talk with the109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSSrrKg9M5
staff. He’s always enjoyed art, and he takes pleasure in showing off his knowledge109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsZmugBJKR
and taste to anyone who will listen. After the gallery, Mark heads to a rare wine109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXenQ4zSzX
store, where he purchases a few bottles of vintage Bordeaux and a case of the finest109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f8V2W7NbA
champagne. He loves the feeling of exclusivity and sophistication that comes with109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvRowRHTAS
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 his109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96B8evUr4m
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 that109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO2BgqGRvr
something is missing. He knows that his friends are envious of his lifestyle, but he109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsYx0MQZwm
can’t help but feel that their admiration is shallow and superficial. He wonders109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZrcPei06j
whether there’s more to life than just collecting expensive objects and showing them109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttwWyniOT9
off to others. As the evening wears on, Mark drinks more wine and becomes more109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObiJnLeDlh
introspective. He starts to question whether his obsession with wealth and status is really109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi8lYGMQ2J
worth the sacrifices he’s made. He thinks about the long hours at the office, the109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeI7P59oZd
constant pressure to perform, and the toll that his lifestyle has taken on his109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlDa2tf1r3
personal relationships. But even as these thoughts creep in, Mark can’t help but feel a109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBjR5Cg0SC
sense of pride and satisfaction. He’s living the high life, and he knows that few109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlyX1m1ye4
others have achieved what he has. He tells himself that the sacrifices are worth109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kocndcJNl
it, that the pursuit of success is the ultimate goal, and that everything else109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zizLY5c9A
will fall into place in due time. Little does he know, the emptiness and isolation109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPyzCiKp5N
he feels are only the beginning of a downward spiral that will threaten to109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKngJmEZC6b
destroy everything he’s worked so hard for. The very things that he’s chasing –109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vbElj0uxU
