Mark wakes up the next morning feeling a little worse for wear. His head is179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK1SqiNCmM
pounding, and he can barely remember all the details of the previous night’s escapades.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIEz4SMMic
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UqxiZkDpq
But as he takes in his luxurious surroundings and the expensive artwork adorning179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrVddVovT0
his walls, he can’t help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. Today, Mark179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyTrGkE975
decides to indulge in some of his more refined interests. He begins by browsing a179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxc4ipUuUy
local art gallery, admiring the latest collections, and making small talk with the179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2kBRGrpGO
staff. He’s always enjoyed art, and he takes pleasure in showing off his knowledge179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauwNEzIOXU
and taste to anyone who will listen. After the gallery, Mark heads to a rare wine179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8d3VVtvmt
store, where he purchases a few bottles of vintage Bordeaux and a case of the finest179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXA6UwJWSr
champagne. He loves the feeling of exclusivity and sophistication that comes with179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfbUUc5NnD
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 his179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8TwkfKV6Z
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 that179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxGF0zyBtI
something is missing. He knows that his friends are envious of his lifestyle, but he179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsQt4QbzCC
can’t help but feel that their admiration is shallow and superficial. He wonders179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGaud3fR6b
whether there’s more to life than just collecting expensive objects and showing them179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNoOje9QN3
off to others. As the evening wears on, Mark drinks more wine and becomes more179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM22ICuYKqn
introspective. He starts to question whether his obsession with wealth and status is really179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOIdfmVMgF
worth the sacrifices he’s made. He thinks about the long hours at the office, the179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB7aZTrt67
constant pressure to perform, and the toll that his lifestyle has taken on his179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6IRKs6aao
personal relationships. But even as these thoughts creep in, Mark can’t help but feel a179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sVZKEvBMS
sense of pride and satisfaction. He’s living the high life, and he knows that few179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUOJpVzcKm
others have achieved what he has. He tells himself that the sacrifices are worth179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNV0Hi4L4E
it, that the pursuit of success is the ultimate goal, and that everything else179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sXfktTgqk
will fall into place in due time. Little does he know, the emptiness and isolation179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5XjU0z4fA
he feels are only the beginning of a downward spiral that will threaten to179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQDi93swXl
destroy everything he’s worked so hard for. The very things that he’s chasing –179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mWcHP6Ugf
wealth, status, and power – may end up being the very things that destroy him in the179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsbVbDv57A
