Exam is around the corner and im lacking motivation to do my revision... =( i've been slacking off... playing computer games, watching series and anime... and browsing interesting stories... and i came across this interesting greek myth about narcissism. narcissism means the trait of excessive self-love, based on self-image... which basically means vain... what interests me is that narcissism is derived from the Greek myth of Narcissus. Narcissus was a handsome Greek youth who rejected the love of the nymph Echo. As punishment, he was doomed to fall in love with his own reflection. Well he eventually dies of heartbreak hahaha and is carried to the Underworld where he is forever tormented by his own reflection in the river Styx. Unable to consummate his love, Narcissus pined away and changed into the flower that bears his name, tada! the narcissus!
Narcissusoh well he must have seen this in his reflection...
Narcissus & his 'reflection' (original picture from Caravaggio)
hahaha well, i do hav some friends that are similar to Narcissus... let's just hope they're not going to fall into the same fate as Narcissus... :P
Recently i have been listening to an old song,
Rie Fu - Life's Like a Boat. It's a lovely and soothing song.
"Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who's gonna comfort me, and keep me strong
We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on comin' and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you thru another day"
