By definition it is the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform.
Christmas is the one time when humanity exposes just how this apply with double standers to our world.
We bestow our best wishes on each other and then return to “ I am alright Jack.
I personally consider hypocrisy to be a very common and almost universally shared aspect of humanity and human nature.
But the problem that most people have with hypocrisy isn’t with hypocrisy itself.
It is the presence of hypocrisy without acknowledging that hypocrisy.
We all full of it.
Just because you don’t realize that what you’re doing is going counter to your beliefs doesn’t make you any less of a hypocrite than if you actually do.
We verbalize what we think, what we’d like to think we’re about, how we would like others to act, how we consider that we act in the world, all of the while blissfully unable to truly see ourselves through the eyes of others.
In other words, someone who does something hypocritical but doesn’t accept that what they’ve done is hypocritical. Either because they don’t see it or they intentionally pretend not to see it.
If a person does something hypocritical and fully admits that it is indeed hypocritical, most people will have no problem with it.
It’s when a person does something hypocritical but parade that it not hypocritical that most people gets angry.
Cause that is a falsehood which deceives people of the truth. And most people hate deception.
Christmas is over for another year, all the hymns have been song, against a back drop of genocide, wars, natural disasters, climate change, profit seeking algorithms, and the spread of false hoods by social media.
We have had speeches from world leaders full of it.
It is then only vice that cannot be forgiven because the repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy.
It is better to be an outspoken than a hypocrite.
A sense of control over one’s life get rid of hypocrisy.
We see ourselves from the inside.
We see all the reasons why we do things and all the rationalizations and motives and becauses.
Our behavior is complex, but still usually makes sense to us. We are a full color diagram of a human being.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
