A Pompous Circumstance is a vainglorious pageant.
A Pageant is an elaborate, public, dramatic presentation of ostentatious pomp and dignified importance, for important dignitaries. It hides behind the deceit & conceit of characters in costume, with no clear identity and no true integrity. It exposes the true status of an imposed sovereign authority.
To Elaborate is to expand, enlarge, devise, develop and ‘flesh out’ the details of a dramatic presentation. Ostentatious is a characterisation of a pretentious, showy or vulgar display. A dramatic presentation of elaborate, pretentious importance of undeserved credit; betraying an attitude of indignant superiority, with an outward display of ostentatious, immodest, pomp; is historically defined as Tumour.
“The pomposity of pretentious arrogance in the mode of the immodest is called Tumour”
My Circumstances are my external facade of financial means and my position of status in society. These are the circumstances of the false power of my emotional worth and the false confidence of my mental authority.
Vainglorious is being excessively proud of one’s own self-importance. It is having a ‘swelled head’ and is the false self-respect of seeing oneself without true confident self-esteem. A sarcastic, cynical, critic sees vainglorious, hubristic bigotry as being either a ‘dickhead’ or a ‘knob head’.
“Vainglory is the misplaced glory of vanity, and the concession of a procession as the confession of a profession”
Pompous professional status confesses its importance by granting the concession of a public procession:
- Profession is a statement of non-sovereign status
- Concession is power conceded by a non-sovereign public
- Procession is how pomposity proceeds to display as public authority
- Confession is a public statement of ignorant deceit & denied conceit
A Pompous Circumstance is a recurring public display of the status of false arrogant self-confidence, witnessed by the humility of the humble unworthy, as the dignified pride of false self-esteem.
