WHY man is becoming more and more depressed as well lonely despite all the modern inventions and gadgets which help him live a comfortable and easy life???

Please read on to find out WHY...

Narcissus or Narkissos

Narke means "sleep, numbness".

Narcissus was a hunter in Greek mythology, from the territory of Thespiae in Boeotia. He who was renowned for his exceeding beauty.

He was exceptionally proud, haughty and could love none but himself. In that he disdained those who loved him.

Narcissus was attracted to a pool by Nemesis-where he saw his own reflection in the waters and fell in love with it.

Not realizing that it was merely an image, a reflection of his own self, he was unable to leave the beauty of his reflection. Narcissus pined for his own love and died!

Moral of the story?

The one who loves none but himself /herself

has opted for a broken heart and a sad end!
