Brother, I believe I like the way you explain things!    After reading yours I realized something about myself that I try to ignore and that is I have negative issues with the titles of righteous and pious..they represent an aspect of character and way of thinking that I truly hate to find in myself! Desire of appearances, "got to keep that fake image going!"  The reason I noticed it was in the different meanings we used for the name Jakeh...I picked the word "pious" to describe the meaning..then I asked myself what meaning I put to that word...a very negative one indeed! For I would have to admit that if I ever used it to describe myself or another then it would be done to say something very demeaning and distasteful..which I don't think I have ever used that word pious even against myself.. righteous is also a word I would use to belittle the character of another, in my heart I would only use it to be saying something negative! For what most people define and use the word righteous in describing something positive I find I chose other words for that description such as devoted and passionate in their goals, honest..but I never use righteous..

  Geez..I'm such a judgmental person!  ...Oh well, at least I had a moment of seeing through my own blindness, I'm sure "this too will pass" and I will get over the disappointment in myself and forget all about it...my mind will cover it over and have me blind to it again! Just I like I never saw it to begin with!    It will conjure that fake image of me again!       Ssssh! Don't say the word!
