Vanity of vanities

     Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth,
     vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!


We are unlikely to change the tide of history, or even change many minds, but maybe we can enjoy ourselves and, perhaps, do our small part to keep our corner of the Overton Window from collapsing.


    Behold, all is vanity and a chase after wind.
