Vanity of vanities is a Hebrew phrase that is similar to ‘holy of holies’. This verse can be found in the Song of Songs, which is also known as Canticles or Song of Solomon. The English translation of this term is ‘meaningless’, but the word ‘absurd’ is more descriptive. An absurd idea is one that is contrary to reason and order. Hence, it should be avoided.

The Latin phrase ‘Omnia vanitas’ is an excellent example of an egocentric attitude. In this context, vanity originally referred to the obsessive desire to look good and the futility of human endeavors in this world. However, vanitas is often used to refer to a man’s days, his appearance and his friendship with other people. In this context, the Bible’s definition of vanity is ‘the emptiness of man.’

In addition to their beauty-enhancing benefits, vanities also serve as a functional storage area. In most cases, they include a sink and countertop, and many are even equipped with a built-in soap dispenser. The best vanities offer both space and a functional bathroom. A vanity provides a place to put toiletries and other items. The material is made of hardwood or particle board and is typically more durable than other types of materials.
