why some people are so hypocritic?
Answers
The definition of a hypocrite is a person who pretends to have certain beliefs, attitudes or feelings when they really do not. An example of a hypocrite is a person who says they care about the environment, but are constantly littering.
People become hypocrites because that’s the easy way out. Almost everyone has heard the phrase ‘Do the right thing, even when no one is watching.’ That essentially is what hypocrisy boils down to. Society brings groups of people together that share somewhat common belief systems. These range from religion to politics.
In our daily interactions we operate by a certain set of rules. Thou shalt not kill. Don’t run the red light. Don’t cheat on your spouse. You get my drift. I believe the majority of society does not kill. However, would it really hurt to run that light? I mean nobody’s watching. It’s taking too long.
When you do that. When you run that light, you’re a hypocrite. You’ve done something that you’ve most likely advised someone else not to do. And you did it alone. You feel secure in that moment. You think nobody’s watching.
Imagine being called a hypocrite. It’s up there with some of the most painful insults you can receive. Next to being called a blooming idiot, a coward, a fraud. Being called a hypocrite means that you’re false. You say one thing and do another is the common description. The thing is we all fall short of perfection on a daily basis.
I have certainly fit the description of what it means to be a hypocrite several times. The key is to accept yourself for what you are. That doesn’t mean accepting that you’re a murderer, or a spouse that can’t stay faithful. It means to not be so judgemental when others fall short of perfection. The same way you dance in front of that mirror when no one is watching (well I do anyways ), should be the same way you dance in public. That way when you resist the urge to run that red light when nobody is watching, you can comfortably correct someone else when they have done so.
Just be the best human you can be. At all times. When you fall short, rest assured that everyone else has at some point. Tell the truth. It will literally make your life less complicated. Picture the best version of yourself and aspire to be that person everyday. I’ll be walking that same road with you all the way
