Many things we hear now days have a great antecedent, I have just heard one I would've never imagined: echo. As the fights between goddesses and nymphs create exciting conflicts, this one made one people will know about forever, maybe not the myth, but definitely the word. Narcissus a very handsome man had all the nymphs attracted to him, but he never paid close attention to them. As you might know, women will always follow the person they like, but in some cases they cause problems. Echo is important because not only she was too talkative, but because of this she wasn't able to talk on her own, she could just repeat what she heard. "The maid answered with all her heart in the same words." When you have qualities that are too exaggerated, they can become a great defect that others will notice instantly and will mostly dislike it.
In terms of Narcissus, he was young man that didn't follow his lovers, but that he didn't actually mind what was surrounding him. He becomes a very egocentric person when he actually saw the one person he loved. You can follow your love, but should never be dissatisfied with what you receive. "As he saw it depart, he exclaimed, "Stay, I entreat you! Let me at least gaze upon you, if I may not touch you." As people start noticing that they don't get what they want, they get disappointed and end up in terrible acts, as it occurred to Narcissus, he killed himself. In life people to should be more open to acts that don't necessarily meet their expectations, they should be less egocentric.
