VANITY

It is vanity to seek material wealth that cannot last and to place your trust in it

It is also vanity to seek recognition and status

It is vanity to chase after what the world says you should want and to long for things you should not have, things that you will pay a high price for later on if you get them

It is vanity to wish for a long life and to care little about a good life

It is vanity to focus only on your present life and not to look ahead to your future life

It is vanity to live for the joys of the moment and not to seek eagerly the lasting joys that await you

(Thomas A Kempis)
