bx_racer Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 alright i know what vanity is but i mean specifically. like at what point is it sinful? if you check your hair every once in a while or take a lot of pictures of yourself to see which is best, i think would be alright, i guess it would be sinful if u started not going places if ur shoes got a hole or something i dunno.

philothea Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 The original meaning of the word "vanity" or "vain" is something that is useless or has no purpose. Nowadays, the common meaning is doing something that only affects your appearance out of a desire for admiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didacus Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 [quote]And if we should chance to find money in any place, let us no more regard it than the dust we tread under our feet,4 for it is “vanity of vanities, and all is vanity.”[/quote] [i]St.Francis of Assisi[/i] St.Francis of Assisi had some very interesting things to say on vanity. He would regard clothing of any colour other than soil as vanity, make-up as vanity, anything worn for personal beautification was vanity, and power is vanity, ect... He is one the Saints that most adamantly condemns it by my reckoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thought studying theology was likely to lead to trouble too. I imagine his advice was primarily for himself and his followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
