On Vanity 于虚荣心
On Vanity 关于虚荣心 Why do we buy stuff? Not everything we buy is useful, so there must be other reasons why we work so hard to buy things. 中国论文网 /1/viewhtm Maybe it’s because we find a sense of happiness or satisfaction when we buy something new, but we all know that that feeling soon fades (even though we almost never remember this every time we buy something new).

Things you thought were worth a lot won’t matter as much any more. You’re the last person on earth. There’s nothing left but to find something worthwhile to do, something that makes you happy, not anyone else.
