Vanity has been the doom of many, by the reason of loosing right sense of priority. I was in a particular nation where many were over filled with vanities, therefore lived their lives as though there's no need for God. A friend told me practically you can get virtually all you want, so the people see no need for God. That's where liberty becomes bondage. Many on the other hand have defiled themselves by the reason of hardship.Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:  Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:  Lest I be full, and deny thee , and say, Who is the Lord ? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain . Prov 30:7-9. May we not get the kind of riches that will make us despise God, and may lack not lead us into sin in Jesus name. Ps125:3
