Vainglory is the focus on the greatness that is Me. It takes a lot of work to feed this vainglory, this ravenous Me. You clamor for attention. You pursue task and goals that will give you the glory your imagination craves. This is very exhausting. “Poor Me,” you say with all your works, such that you can think yourself a martyr. You do all this good and get no recognition. Some people in their efforts to feed the great ME, are gone from home and from themselves a lot, in efforts to do “good works.” Such works can be very good. It is motive that is important to your own growth or lack thereof. Instead of purity of heart, you have a ME that demands complete attention.
