Ignorance Brings Happiness
Gavin’s happiness was increasing over time. Every step in selling the house and every appraisal of an asset fed his ignorant bliss. The whispers of disapproval and the legal networks that were secretly being created were catching up with him. In his mind, the future was an unobstructed path to success and pleasure. However, this joy was a fragile illusion.
The echo of the ego
However, Gavin’s arrogance began to have a negative impact on the people around him. His friends began to drift apart, put off by his obvious self-interest and lack of sensitivity. His peers argued about his cruel strategies and ethical wiles. The man who once had many on his side was gradually left in an echo chamber of his own ego, where his only voice mattered.
