I am a Narcissist
Okay, now that so many of you
have read the first issuu of OutFocus,
maybe it’s time you know who I am.
I am a narcissist. Some of you may
know what that means but here’s
for the others. What’s a narcissist?
Narcissus, in Greek mythology, was
a loner who kept staring into a clear
fresh water lake every day. Alas. He
did not see the beauty of the lake.
What he saw was the reflection of
himself in the lake. On his death,
when asked the lake about how it
felt about the death of Narcissus,
who gave it constant company till
his death, the lake replied that it
missed seeing itself in the eyes of
Narcissus. Thus was the origin of the
word “narcissist”. It means “man who
admires himself”. Two things can be
interpreted. One. Narcissus was not
just any guy. He did not stare at his
ugly self. He was a guy of extreme
beauty. Two. The lake was a narcissist
too. I believe it is not wrong to admire
your own good points. At the same
time, overdoing it may be a problem.
Overdoing anything, in that case, can
be a problem. So, be a narcissist.
Love yourself. Peace!
