(虚荣心)是个有巨大潜力的动机.与孩子们打交道的人都知道,孩子们是如何一边做了一些滑稽动作,一边说着"看我"."看我"是人心中最基本的欲望,它以不同的形式出现,从讲粗俗的笑话到追求死后的声望形式各异.有一位文艺复兴时期的意大利王公,临终前牧师问他是否有什么需要忏悔的,他说"是的,有一件事.有一次皇上和教皇同时到我这儿来,我领他们登上塔顶观景,可惜我没有利用这个把他俩都推下去的机会,如果我那样做了,一定会获得不朽的声望."历史没有告诉我们那位牧师是否给这个王公免了罪.虚荣心的问题之一是随着鼓励的增加而增加,越是被别人谈论,越希望被别人谈论.让判了刑的杀人犯阅读一下报上登载的审判他的报告,如果他发现哪家报纸没作充足的报导,他会十分气愤的.报纸报导他的越多,对那些报导他少的报纸他感到气愤.政治家和文人就是这样.他们越出名,剪报机构觉得越难满足他们.在人生各个阶段,虚荣心的影响怎么夸大都不为过,无论对三岁幼童还是皱一皱眉世界就得抖一抖的君主.人类甚至犯了个大不敬的错误,认为神灵也有同样的欲望,想象神灵也渴望不断被歌功颂德.
