Life is full of shades of grey. It's not black and white. Nothing is ever black and white.

Vanity isn't a horrible thing. It can be appropriate on the right person. Some people we expect to be vain. Some of us are good at something--are we vain for knowing that?

If someone believes in a biblical viewpoint, vanity is allegedly one of the seven deadly sins. And yet, the pope and all the bishops, cardinals, ministers and such hold their station with vanity, and are proud of how much wealth they hold (and yet pass the hat every Sunday, lying to the patrons of how "poor" the church is).

TO be honest, if vanity is the only sin this woman might possess, I think she'd done remarkably well in her life. At her death, I wouldn't feel either sad or amused at her foible, but if I knew her well, I would be more sad that she is gone, but not for that particular reason.

Besides, any one who would laugh at anyone dying is probably a sociopath anyhow, and someone who showed such tendencies should not be taken seriously at all. ;)
