From talk 7/14/79

 Question: what is the difference between Vanity and Pride?

Answer: Vanity is having a false picture of ourselves, most especially as being a victim, and so Pride is defending our false picture of self.

Vanity is having a false picture of self.

The most common for of Vanity is that I’m so important that everybody in the worlds been picking on me, and therefore I’m a victim, and then we defend that to the death. That’s pride.

Vanity is having a false picture of self, and pride is defending that false picture as being factual.
