Deontology Vanity & Pride

As it is in general the object so in general is it
the effect of the display he makes to afford more
or less of pleasure to those in the eyes of whom he
makes it. For by admiration surprise is excited &
a certain appetite — the appetite of curiosity the love
of the marvellous more or less gratified. But

But there are two causes circumstances cases by in which this effect
is liable to be not only counteracted and diminished
but reversed: 1. where the superiority displayed or the
manner in which it is displayed is such as to produce
humiliation — the sense of Inferiority — in the
breast of those before whom the display is made:
2 this effect is proportionably encreased if in respect
of the particular endowment in question any particular
competition as between a vain man man
and the persons in question: happens to have place

In so far as this is the case, benevolence and prudence
concurr in recommending to him to abstain from
his displays: benevolence because thereby on his part envy
or jealousy a pain of humiliation will be produced;
prudence because in that case the passions of envy
and jealousy as towards himself will be apt to be excited,
and towards himself a sentiment of ill will
whence upon occasion the correspondent ill offices or
withholding of good ones will be apt to be produced
