Is hypocrisy inevitable?
    #5930083 -

Every now and then, I catch myself being a hypocrite. I try to tell myself I'll never do it again, but I always seem to fall back into it eventually. In a sense, I think hypocrisy often comes out whenever you pass judgement on someone, because the things you hate most in other people are often the things you hate most about yourself. I think that at least one thing I am good at is recognizing when I'm being a hypocrite, and I think anyone who's honest with themselves should be able to do the same. Generally, the people who don't think they're hypocrites are often the biggest hypocrites of all.

I think you are on the money, I know I am, especially at work.
I always tell myself I am going to change, but that only last
a day or two. Then my true self comes back out.

I think life is too long to not be a hypocrite at times.

The trick is to continue to catch yourself at it.  :thumbup:

Growth and learning occur while we are fucking up, noticing it, and then deciding what we want to do about it.

I used to be hooked on the idea of perfection--if I just worked hard enough, tried hard enough, I would GET THERE.  :lol:

Now I know that there is no "there" to get to, and that the closest I will come to perfection is to continue loving myself and learning from my mistakes.

Good show, SS!

It's hypocritical for you to pretend that you are somehow catching and correcting most of your hypocricies through honest effort.  :smirk:

True enough. But maybe there are some who are never give to hypocrisy. We would most likely not be aware of them.

The only way I could see someone never being a hypocrite is if they never held any ideals to begin with. There may also be some people who attain a high enough level of awareness that they overcome hypocrisy.

Hey Silver, long time no see.

I think no one is perfect and hypocrisy (to me) implies intent or at leastapathy toward commiting the act. If you caught yourself and tried to right it or at least correct your future actions you have nutralized it. Ony a perfect person could be unhypocratic and that person does not exist. Don't be so hard on yourself.

We're all hypocrites at one time or another. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's through mistakes that much learning and growth happens.

If one never makes mistakes, that avenue for growth dead ends. I doubt many of us ever get that far, but that's alright because I think the trip is more important than the destination.  :mushroom2:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Truth is this.......when we find something in another person that we don't like or we catch them in hypocrisy. Guess what ? that very thing that we don't like about them ?? We don't like it about ourselves.

Self Diagnosed Hypocrisy is healthy. It is the window from which we can peer into ur faults, dislikes etc.... Learn from these times and move forward.

Just remember. What we don't like about someone we have a small part of that in ourselves. If we are willing to be completely honest with us..........

Hypocrisy is transcended by the realization that a single thought cannot occur simulataneously at any place and time in the universe. The who, what, and why of a thought is always influenced by the environment of the thinker. The only negative effect of hyprocrisy is embarassment, which, happening frequently, begins to naturally loosen the bondage of your heart. This process is expedited by self-scrutiny and the desire to change.

Figuring out to what extent you are influencing your environment and to what extent your environment is influencing you is when and where who, what, and why becomes clouded. The only way to remove this obstacle is through self-enquiry: Who am I?

I have considered such matters.

Last night I was under the influence of LSD and me and my two friends where sitting around making fun of people who where analyzing children to the point where they where studying them like animals. Then I realized that we where sitting around analyzing them like they where animals. Then I laughed my ass off.

The most devastating result of hypocrisy is the effect it has on others around us. And the younger generations that learn acceptable behavior from us. Anyone who wants to know what real men and women are like should read The Grapes of Wrath. The prevalence of hypocrisy almost sees to be a modern feature of society as a result of the commercialization of the American mind. If we grow up in a world if inconsistent messages then it becomes cultural norm and the best we can do is to minimize, recognize, and correct ourselves when you can. Conscience effort to improve every day is all we can expect from ourselves.
