vanity [Theme] Page 2



- Good intentions are futile attempts to go against the laws of nature. They are based on vanity. The result is a complete zero. From time to time, they give us the luxury of sterile feelings that comfort the weak. That's all there is to say about them. They are only checks that people submit to a bank where they do not have an account.

You share the usual error of men, from where you have to give up, no matter how flattering it is for you. You assume that only your dignity can ignite passion in a woman's heart, and that heart and mental properties are the only reasons of love that I have for you women. What a mistake! Of course, you think it's because, because it requires your pride. But explore without prejudice, if possible, encouraging your motives, and soon you will see that you are deluded, and we deceive you; and that all the reasons you are fooled by your and our vanity; that the dignity of the beloved beings are only accidental or justify love, but not its true cause; that, finally, all these extraordinary tricks resorted to by both sides, as if included in the desire to satisfy a need that I had even called you the root cause of this passion. I give you here a cruel and humiliating truth; but it is less reliable. We women are in the world with this uncertain demand of love, and if we prefer one another, to be honest, we give not known the merits, but rather the unconscious, almost always blind instinct. I don't want to bring evidence that there is a blind passion, which we ipanaema sometimes towards strangers or people known to us is not enough to ensure that our selection was not always based on reckless: if we get happy, that's pure coincidence. Therefore, we are bound always is not producing sufficient of the exam, and I will not not right, comparing the love to a preference which we give, sometimes one dish before the other, not being able to explain why. I'm brutally dispel the chimeras of your self-love, but I'm telling you the truth. You were flattered by the love of a woman, because you assume that it is considered with the merits of the beloved one: you give her too much credit, let's say, you're too high opinion of himself. Believe that we love you not for your own sake: you have to be sincere, in love we seek only their own well-being. Caprice, interest, vanity, temperament, financial difficulties is what disturbs us, when our hearts are not engaged, here are the reasons of those great feelings that we want to idolize. Not the great dignity that pricked: if they are in reason with we in your favor, that they do not affect on the heart and on vanity, and most properties are like us you often make you funny or pathetic. But what do you want? We need fan support in us the idea of our superiority, we need podczeck who fulfills our desires, we need a man. Randomly it seems to us that, and not another; it is taken, but not elected. In short, you consider yourself the subject of unselfish sympathy, I repeat, do you think women love you for yourselves. Poor dupes! You serve only the instrument of their pleasures or a toy to their whims. However, we must do justice to women: it is being done without their knowledge. The feelings that I portray here, and often they themselves do not quite clear; on the contrary, with the best intentions they imagine that they are guided by great ideas, which nourishes your and their vanity, and it would be brutally unfair to accuse them of hypocrisy on this score: they unconsciously deceive themselves and you as well.
You see what I reveal before you the secrets of the good Goddess: judge of my friendship, if I damage my floor, trying to enlighten you. The better you are to know women, the less they will make you go crazy.
