I get a different take. I think this is an indictment on selfishness and personal convenience. In dealing with the body, he does the opposite of the "good samaritan" in order to save time or not be inconvenienced, etc. so he "saves his day." Coughing up sympathy puts it into a negative light. You don't want to do it, and you COULD do it, but there is a price. Better not to and "save your day." Fit into the mold, look out for yourself, hold on to your material belongings, etc.
