Answer» Wise men have rightly said, \'Pride goes before a fall.\' Similarlyvanity, like pride is bound to meet frustration and dejection. Life is aglorious gift meant to be pursued for higher pursuits such as self-improvement,self-actualization, and serving the suffering humankind. Where is the time forvain pursuits in such a competitive world? But unfortunately a major portion ofhuman beings suffer from the ill of being vain. They waste their time, money,energies and other resources almost all their life later on to realize thefutility of it. The best example that shows the misery of vain people is thecharacter of Mrs. Packletide in the story Mrs. Packletide\'s tiger by saki. Wesee how her vain ambition of outshining Loona Bimberton ends up in her shame,embarrassment, and financial loss. She is left with nothing but regret andremorse. The author has masterfully brought home the point that vain peoplelike her don\'t get anything useful in their lives; their vain endeavoursbear no sweet fruit. On the contrary they have to bear loss on all fronts. Sovanity is to be got rid of our character. In its place some ethics and moralvalues should be nurtured. No |
