OF PRIDE AND VANITY
DIBAKAR PAL
Abstract
Pride is the outcome of a feeling of pleasure. An individual is satisfied when his desire is fulfilled. This satisfaction is the cause of pleasure. A hungry man eats food. After having had his meal, when he is full of stomach he enjoys satisfaction that will not allow him to be proud. Food offers strength and vitality but not pride. Rather the satisfied soul with renewed energy will again be engaged at work. So, all satisfaction may not be the cause of pride. But satisfaction provokes a man to be proud. Thus pride is the exposure of purely psychological activity but lunatic in nature. Because, a fool becomes proud and always beats his own drum, but seldom a wise person. Excessive pride is called vanity. In fact, where pride ends, vanity begins. Thus vanity is pregnant with an excessive desire to be admitted by others for one’s achievements, appearance, etc.
