the relation they what
the virtues associated
with them bear to
those of pains and pleasures
Apply this to Vanity

the aggregate of pains. Vice, that which contributes to unhappiness
is minimization of the aggregate of pleasures — to maximization
of the aggregate of pains.

place; seek your own happiness through the medium of that
