Logic or Ethics Ch Vanity & Pride
3
Vanity wishes for — capable of feeling it, pride disdains
Activity is and Garrulity Loquacity are accordingly the natural and almost
inseparable companion accompaniment of Vanity: immobility and
taciturnity and sullenness of Pride.
Vanit Vanity, though it in so far as they appear seem
are regarded as being within its reach it aspires to draw esteem is disposed to aim at drawing from
the most highest situated and most copious sources,
disdain is frequently seen stooping to draw it, if
possible from the any source in from which the least smallest
drop of it is seems to be had is considered > as obtainable
however low and narrow scanty and low-situated.
Between esteem and sympathy the connection
is natural and intimate. Vanity is accordingly
not only not incapable of being conjoined with sympathy having sympathy for its companion, but
has even a tendency to enter into that alliance.
Pride, with a force in proportioned to its intensity, operates in exclusion repels and tends to exclude
of sympathy.
Correspondent and proportioned in strength of tendency to its connection
with sympathy is the connection with which Vanity
has with Beneficence. Pride, though in a low its inferior degree
degree it is not incompatible with sympathy, nor
therefore with that ben beneficence which has sympathy
for its source, yet in proportion to its intensity, is
averse and to, and tends to be exclusive operates towards the exclusion of sympathy,
and in so far as beneficence is the fruit of sympathy,
of beneficence.
