Hypocracy in a veil of self-Deception
The case of such foolish men is like that of a person, who may have heard that alchemy is better than gold...and who not having known alchemy goes about hungry and wretched (having rejected a treasure) , feeling proud and boasting at the same time of having proclaimed to the public that alchemy is better than gold.
