Deontology Vanity and Pride

Vanity is more nearly allied to benevolence:
Pride to self regard and malevolence.

Of To each the object or end view — final cause
of action is — the pleasure of the popular or moral
sanction: esteem and respect at the hands of those
with whom they have or expect to have to do —

The vain man regards himself as comparatively
ill assured of the advantages which he is thus looking
for at their hands: he is proportionably anxious
to do what depends upon him towards the obtainment
of them: and for that purpose takes every
occasion for making display of those endowments
of his which in his eyes are the efficient
causes of his title to those benefits and on
which his hopes of obtaining them are accordingly
founded. But in this vein to this purpose it is necessary
that he should moreover to a certain degree possess
their good will: at any rate that he shd. not be
an object of their ill will: hence it is necessary
in effect and at any rate in his eyes that
towards the persons in question his deportment
shd. be conformable to the dictates of benevolence:
of negative of at least if not of positive
benevolence: that the sentiments produced by it
as towards himself shd. be as far as possible
those of esteem which in its higher degrees is
admiration and by ill will or antipathy
by whatsoever cause produced, the esteem and
admiration if not entirly excluded are so in
a greater or less degree.
