Vanity

I've just deleted an attempted post examining whether my blog was an expression of vanity, a comment I recently read about blogs in general. I got confused about the meaning of vanity as it relates to blogs. I suppose that some blogs are filled with material which to some people may be worthless, but which to the writer may be a source of excessive pride. I can't really wrap myself around this issue. Does this mean I am blind to my own vanity in relation to this blog? Perhaps. However, any tendency toward self-importance is countered by the small number of comments and return visitors to this blog. No one has noticed the clarity which I believe characterizes this writing. No one has said that any of these ideas has resonated with their own experience. Well, I'll stop dwelling on what isn't going well with this. I'm glad to be able to write freely on the Web on a nicely put together personal web site. "Devoid of significance." Another characteristic of vanity. This does tread that fine line if I just write anything that occurs to me. What comes out is the product of forty-three years of living. If I have lived a life of significance then what comes out will be significant. If not, not.

I have to admit, this question makes me a little nervous.
