There was a man named Leo who was very charming and good looking
He thought everyone else was merely a supporting cast in the grand story of his life
He could capture the attention and admiration of everyone he met
Leo scrolling through his carefully curated social media profile, featuring countless photos of himself
His social media was a shrine to his own image, filled with eyecatching photos that showcased his perfection
He spent hours each day admiring himself in the mirror and taking endless selfies, believing he was the embodiment of perfection
Leo at a city art exhibition, surrounded by people, including Sophia, the talented artist
I want to draw your portrait that will truly encapsulate your inner beauty she told him. That'd be great, I'm eager to have another masterpiece to add to my collection of self-celebratory artwork. he said.
Sophia, intrigued by Leo's reputation, she approached him.
Sophia working diligently on her painting, capturing Leo's essence
Sophia spent weeks studying Leo, trying to understand the depth of his character by observing his interactions, both the superficial charm he displayed and the emptiness that lay beneath it
When the painting was complete, Sophia unveiled it at a grand art exhibition in the city
...but it was not what I had expected, It depicts me not as the radiant, flawless figure I imagine myself to be.
The portrait, revealing Leo not as a radiant figure but as a man drowning in a pool of his own reflection
Leo devastated, holding the painting while Sophia explaining the message of the painting
The painting is a reflection of your inner self as it exposes the hollowness of your self-absorption.
He began to appreciate the beauty in others and build meaningful relationships, understand that true worth was found in the connections he forged, not just in his own reflection.
Over time, Leo began to reflect on his own behavior
And so, Leo learned that there was more to life than an obsession with oneself
Leo, now a changed man, appreciating the world around him, and that genuine beauty lay not only in appearance but also in the heart and soul.
