Respectability
The problem of respectability
is that you can't do anything not worthy of respect
and can't be irrespectable.
You are confined to your respectability
and must respect it, or you'll lose it.
Maybe it is worth it?
Many do and afterwards insist
that they have nothing to regret.
Perhaps they really don't,
but still, most people hesitate to take that leap and risk,
and many take an even greater risk instead
experimenting and developing a double life,
a life of perfect watertight respectability
and on the other hand an underground activity of self-indulgence
where there are no limits to what liberties are taken.
It is good as long as they are not found out,
and maybe it is recommendable to try.
Respectability is after all a regular confinement
which all nature must rebel against demanding freedom.
