they undoubtedly paid little attention. In the absence of the weapon
used to satisfy their vanity, that is, their outer beauty, they face a new
much more authentic stage, during which they will have to strive to
release something beautiful from inside to be able to attract
somebody to them. In this way they will also be able to appreciate the
Personal relationships and the law of love
feelings, and will learn to value the latter more.
Does this mean that only people who are beautiful and attractive are
lewd?
No, but in the main they are the ones who are more deeply caught up
with lewdness, since other vain people who are not physically
attractive, even if they wanted to, could not use physical
attractiveness as a lure for obtaining what they want. In these cases
vanity will cause envy to be aroused in them and an unsatisfied desire
to achieve the beauty that others have and that they do not see in

thousands of cosmetic surgery operations, in order to see themselves
as more attractive. There are many people who are physically
attractive who also allow themselves to be caught up in this obsession
to have a perfect body, a manifestation of vanity, called “narcissism”
or “body worship”.

stopping eating, consuming all types of slimming substances, tonics,
stimulants etc., even inserting all kinds of prosthesis, even putting their
own lives at risk. People caught under the influence of narcissism are
never satisfied with their physique. They spend all their time, energy,
will, money in modifying it, identifying themselves completely with their
physique, when in fact this is no more than a garment that they use to
operate in the physical world. They harbour the false illusion that one
day they will have their ideal body and they will be happy,
encouraged in this belief by the beauty, cosmetic and consumer
industry which make a profit at their cost. But this illusion is only a trap
laid by the defect, because happiness is not achieved this way. It is
only achieved through progress in love. For this reason, dissatisfaction
grows more and more, and while the biological clock inexorably
