Echo and Narcissus

Echo was a nimph who was in love with the hunter Narcissus but Narcissus didn't think anyone was ever good enough for him including Echo.
One day Echo helps the adulterous husband of Juno escape by talking to him and in return the goddess Juno curses Echo by only allowing her to say what the person before her has said, hence her name. 
Later Echo encounters Narcissus and he shuns the nimph and embarasses her. The gods are angered by Narcissus' behavior and they curse him by making him fall in love with his reflection. He does not recognize that it is his and by doing so he will never be loved by his own reflection. 

A narcissistic person(s) I abhor are the Kardashians. Not a single one of them have any sort of talent except for the mothers ability to exploit her daughters yet they think of themselves as the most important intenties in the media. 
An altruistic person I admire is my mom. As cliche as that sounds she is the most selfless and giving person I know. She always puts her family first.
