Mirror, mirror on the wall’: Narcissism and spiritual worldliness
The myth of Narcissus tells the story of a young man who falls in love with his own image reflected in the water. This is fruit of a punishment and a vendetta. In fact, the young hunter had rejected a goddess who had fallen in love with him. Ovid and Pausanias tell the story. The tale concludes in a woeful manner because by endeavoring to embrace his own image Narcissus pines away and dies.
