What is vain ambition? That is easy to answer; it is ambition based on vanity/pride, or the narcissistic belief that I/you are better than someone else, that you/I will prove that because of the accomplishment of a goal or set of goals. It can be anything from a housewife desiring to prove her chocolate chip cookie recipe is better than someone else, to a political candidate trying to win office because he/she is better than (other) he/she... The harder question to answer is when this question is used to examine personal motives in any given situation. Do I want this or that success because I want to serve or do I want it because I want to prove I am valuable/better than you? E
