I have always felt that the biggest liability a person can have is Vanity. It makes you vulnerable in ways you can't possibly know about because... because you are vain. It is also a tremendous liability because you can't see where you are going. It blinds you. In the Hindu culture, they have a term, “Samskara” it is explained in more detail here. I think of Samskaras as something like a scarf, with different levels of opacity. Some are gossamer and some are black as night, depending on their density ...and you can't see through them at all, or partially. Vanity is more than capable of creating thick Samskaras. In Times of Material Darkness, there is a greater pervasiveness of negative Samskaras and large numbers of the public accept as truth the most outrageous delusions. They commonly agree on utter bullshit. The more wide spread this is, the more dangerous is is to be around large groups of people; NOTHING gets said here by accident.
When Vanity is accompanied by arrogance, the merger is exponential in its negative potential. You see a lot of this in the political arena, in show business and at the upper levels of commerce. These are the people who paid no attention to the people they stepped on, on their way up and are oblivious to the consequences pending on their way down. They prance through life as royalty; a queen of the realm, a queen of the silver screen or... even a queen like Dame Elton John and... they awaken in the next go round as a prostitute, a human trafficked item in the cart, or any one of the outfits that hang in the cosmic wardrobe, which you must go through, to get suited up, while food for the moon, awaiting your next incarnation
