Mark wakes up the next morning feeling a little worse for wear. His head is211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHmQAbzHtB
pounding, and he can barely remember all the details of the previous night’s escapades.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXpGEMxm2d
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYpEXWWfib
But as he takes in his luxurious surroundings and the expensive artwork adorning211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9IglieRqE
his walls, he can’t help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. Today, Mark211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNTzOWQUeX
decides to indulge in some of his more refined interests. He begins by browsing a211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgerud5CZhe
local art gallery, admiring the latest collections, and making small talk with the211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim2QPI24rZ
staff. He’s always enjoyed art, and he takes pleasure in showing off his knowledge211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt72LfeqTH
and taste to anyone who will listen. After the gallery, Mark heads to a rare wine211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdv9fcnrt5
store, where he purchases a few bottles of vintage Bordeaux and a case of the finest211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojksG0dGk0
champagne. He loves the feeling of exclusivity and sophistication that comes with211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh2f0VOzE3
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 his211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasnNqdqpoO
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 that211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERAQwBCJSR
something is missing. He knows that his friends are envious of his lifestyle, but he211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug8ooeOCDW
can’t help but feel that their admiration is shallow and superficial. He wonders211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBOipnIjDu
whether there’s more to life than just collecting expensive objects and showing them211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8P0eiObxU
off to others. As the evening wears on, Mark drinks more wine and becomes more211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbk5zCO1Yc
introspective. He starts to question whether his obsession with wealth and status is really211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoBPwY8aFL
worth the sacrifices he’s made. He thinks about the long hours at the office, the211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkDO2K3TYr
constant pressure to perform, and the toll that his lifestyle has taken on his211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdFYMLRfBo
personal relationships. But even as these thoughts creep in, Mark can’t help but feel a211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtmhTCKBGy
sense of pride and satisfaction. He’s living the high life, and he knows that few211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vxj2Ocy8J
others have achieved what he has. He tells himself that the sacrifices are worth211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqDkf0AHHa
it, that the pursuit of success is the ultimate goal, and that everything else211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX93blO0Hb
will fall into place in due time. Little does he know, the emptiness and isolation211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe04zlP8y1
he feels are only the beginning of a downward spiral that will threaten to211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXBdwXGJux
destroy everything he’s worked so hard for. The very things that he’s chasing –211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6p25Da91p
wealth, status, and power – may end up being the very things that destroy him in the211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDrGV1CeeT
