Those who wear vanity and narcissism, are the most ugly of character. And should be subject to excruciating correction of their indignation. For flaunting ones outer beauty and ignoring ones inner self, deserves no satisfaction other than that of a physical reshaping before they can truly embrace what they really are inside.
Now not to discredit your quote here. But when they talk narcissism, do they mean as a personality trait? or are they aware there is a narcissistic personality disorder as well? and then are we then shaming them for a personality disorder that changes their frame of mind?

Even in the helter-skelter skirmish that is my life, I have seen that the world is to the strong regardless of a little pigmentation more or less. No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife." "Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the granddaughter of slaves.
