Vanity

Lichtaart, July 2007
Though I be-eth hideous, do I not haveth the right to be vain ?

This is a toad, photographed around our house... these toads are normally very afraid of humans, but this one was obviously more vain then afraid... Crazy as it sounds, he was actually posing, turning around for me, showing his best sides...
really special animal...
But it does make some sense. It's not about being pretty or not, it's all about being what you are. Consciously choosing to be yourself is maybe the biggest freedom you can have. Is it wrong to be happy to be oneself ? Is the peace this choice gives sometimes mistaken for vanity ?
