He was the son of a river god and a nymph🤴, and his magnificence was unparalleled.
👸😥Many had tried to win his heart, but he rejected them all, believing no one was worthy of him.😥👸

👸ECHO FELL FOR THE NARCISSISIST🤵
Upon seeing Narcissus, Echo was immediately struck by his looks and fell deeply in love.🎭
Her heart ached to speak to him, to tell him how she felt, but she could only repeat his words back to him💔.
Narcissus, not realizing that Echo was under a curse, grew frustrated with her and rejected her advances.

💔ECHO LEFT WITH A BROKEN HEART💔
Heartbroken, Echo roamed the woods, pining for Narcissus and repeating his words until she faded away, leaving only her echoing voice behind.😔

💥WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND! YOU NARCISSUS, NARCISSISIST! IT WAS A TIME TO PAY BACK 💥
One day, 👺the goddess Nemesis👺, led Narcissus to a puddle in the woods, where he saw his reflection. 😍

👻NARCISSUS FINALLY TASTED THE PAIN OF REJECTION HIMSELF👻

In a fit of anguish, Narcissus dwelled by the reservoir, staring at his reflection until he wasted away and died.

In his place, a beautiful flower with white petals and a yellow center bloomed – the narcissus flower, a reminder of his vanity and self-absorption.🕤🎍

🎠🎉WHAT TO LEARN OUT OF THIS TALE? MORAL OF THE STORY?🎠🎉
The tale explores the fascinating world of self-importance and its potential pitfalls.
As the Greek philosopher Plato said, “The man who thinks he is extremely handsome is often blind to everything else.”

🎠🎉STOP BE ARROGANT & START BEING GRATEFUL🎠🎉
Narcissus' self-absorption caused him to reject the love and affection of others, leading to his downfall.

🎠🎉EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS🎠🎉
Whereas, Echo's inability to express and Narcissus' love for himself indicates the power of spoken words. As the famous quote goes, “Words have the power to both destroy and heal.”

💞ABOVE ALL, LOVE YOURSELF ALWAYS AND FOREVER💞
The key is to find a balance between the two – to love yourself, but not to the point of arrogance or self-destruction.

🩰 KEEP YOUR PRIDE ASIDE 🩰
May the beautiful narcissus flowers remind us of the dangers of pride and the power of self-love.
