That is pretty evidently not what he means at all.

That being said op I can't think of anything that really tackles it. The concept does come up in Under the Volcano in a couple of ways -- the Consul's brother constantly wrestles with the feeling of being a hypocrite because he desires a sort of adventurous, romanticized life but can't stop acting like a pampered rich dude. You could argue that the Consul himself also suffers from it when he constantly acknowledges his need to improve his life but simultaneously sabotages himself, though that's a bit shakier. The novel doesn't really focus heavily on what you're looking for though, op. Just the only example I could think of.
