Vanity betrays us a lot of the time. Why does it do that? Because with vanity what we are, is not good enough. So we take on board things that are not us. Like more personality, like false self-images, fantasies, we lie, we boast, we exaggerate, we pretend, we force things, we feign things and so on. We put effort into developing the surface which is wasted time and effort as that has no power to fulfill us, or make us authentically happy and blissful.
All that is false eventually comes back, jumps up and bights us.
In the end we feel betrayed or disappointed with our vanity. It is not a good friend or good companion, it is not one that has our best interests at heart. It is one that misleads us, taking us into embarrassment and humiliation.
We feed physical vanity and then we attract all these silly superficial people that are nothing but a pain, and are no good for us. We get ourselves into situations where people believe our exaggerated vain statements, and as vanity does not have the reality to deliver, having now been defrauded by our own vanity we defraud others just the same and just as easily.
Personality does not belong to us. It is a mask that we wear to get around in society with. Personality is false. Personality and vanity are good friends but these two are not good friends of our essence, or the essence of anyone else either.
End (3898).
