The ego represents the false reward of narcissism—an ego raised to the heavens, reflections that show only one's own image as if we were the universe's sole existence, preventing us from seeing beyond ourselves; all this exists beneath a dark, deceptive cloud of social acceptance that infects our vision and speech, and beneath an empty hourglass representing the consequences—an immense loneliness awaiting us in time—yet only the soul can see beyond eyes blinded by the ego.
