Men are drawn to [sensual] pleasure, and to virtue [that we recognise in others].

It is easy to understand why men are drawn to pleasure,     ...but why so, to respect for virtue ?



Why are we so concerned about our 'reputation' [in the eyes of others] ?

And why do we hate it, when others think badly of us, think badly of our character ?

Is that 'care' [in us], a weakness, another vanity of man ?






Proverbs 22:1
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.


Ecclesiastes 7:1
A good name is better than precious ointment.....


Ecclesiastes 7:15
All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
16  Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
17  Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?


Ecclesiastes 1:1
The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2  Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
3  What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

Men are good

That's the influence of the corruptness of women in his life, the legacy of Eve.
