Foreclosing on widows homes
Is one thing I’ve not done
But if truth be told
That’s only one
The life that I led before
Left nothing to be desired
High on the hog
Until I was undone

He just ain’t no youngster anymore. There are certain things in his life that were begun years ago in his youth which he must follow through to completion. In the following-through process, he must interact with a number of persons. Many of these persons are good, upstanding, honest, forthright, scrupulous, hard-working, salt-of-the-earth individuals.
But then, there are the others. "Believe me," he said, "I am not being petty, catty or gossipy." He had lived long enough and experienced a sufficient amount of humanity to recognize, and not necessarily at first sight- but after years of interacting with such individuals, personalities whose dedication to the preservation of self is so great that it consumes and underlies all their actions (and interactions) during the course of each day every day up to and surpassing good, correct and honest human behavior. And consequently, in consciously acting in the above described manner, one must apply another ‘veneer’ to ensure (they think) that the general perception of their actions is that of good, correct and honest human behavior.
He called this hypocrisy because the inherent behavior of such individuals is of such a contrary extreme from that which they attempt to display (or ‘betray’), that he could summon no better descriptor of the phenomena. But then, to them the combination of the dishonesty of their underlying actions and the dishonesty of their public personalities is probably united in their minds as normal behavior; or ‘just the way they are’.
So in reaction to the conduct of such individuals and in his pursuit of his ultimate goal, that being a ‘retirement’ of sorts from the daily routine of earning a living to the pursuit of his passion, he must undertake a similar ‘dance’. As a result of his recognition of such undesirable and undermining conduct, he finds himself absolutely loathing such personalities. Make clear that he must encounter them and interact with them on a daily basis, but he finds the experience to be an unappealing drudgery. And then, in addition to this disgusting combination of circumstances, he must ‘be nice’ in order to remain active in this professional situation and follow through on his long-terms plans.
Is he just as hypocritical?
