1. Philosophy is a need for Narcissus, as he tries to find a way of countering his only possible source of frustration: the World.
2. This [the world] happens to Narcissus as sensorial perceptive outbursts. Thus one may encounter here the following fundamental questions of Philosophy:
a) What is it that is over there? [the empirical world and the Self]
b) What is it there? Cos'è questo che c'è? Was ist das, das da ist? [in Italian, German, etc...]
c) What is to be? What is being (ens - latin; seiend German)?
That might be seen as the ultimate source of the fundamental ontological questions.
On the other hand, the mentioned sensorial perceptive outbursts bring to the youngster, in love with his own image, the experience of space and time. So, what could be the essence of the latter [space and time] in light of such interpretation of Narcissus's pulsions ?
Items a), b) and c) follow from the 'astonishment at the world', recognized as the origin of philosophical questions at least since pre-Socratic thinkers'.
3) Sexual desire is the damnation of Narcissus. It is his expulsion from Paradise, the interruption of his state of Nirvana.
