HIM: That's vanity. There's no country any more. From one pole to the other all I see is tyrants and slaves. ME: Helping one's friends? HIM: Vanity. Does one really have friends? And if we had, would we have to make them ungrateful? Look closely, and you'll notice that that's almost always what you get back for services rendered. Gratitude is a burden, and every burden is put there to be shaken off. ME: Occupy a position in society and carry out its duties? HIM: Vanity.

To jealousy, trouble, persecution.
