Attitudes

Indignant self-righteousness: “I got mad and told them who was right.” Casual snobbishness: “Of course I’ve done everything right.” Doubtful regretishness: (laughing) “That was wicked of me, right?” Then he felt guilty, And tried his best To cover up his guilt By repeating the same Attitudes in a cycle, Even forgetting his guilt Until each time around.
