Hypocrisy

Was filing a few papers on Saturday, and then said something on a lighter note. She did not react, all she said was, "I don't comment on the weakest point of people." when all she had done in the last few months was exactly that. I was aghast at the hypocrisy. How can people keep doing something and then claim to be virtuous and not doing something that they do already. Its like a smoker preaching "do not smoke" or a liar preaching truth. How can people have the guts to do that. Doesn't their conscience hurt them? I actually doubt whether they even have one. 

I have been observing people since quite a while now. And what I have observed is people have a different set of rules for them and a different set for others. I neither care about what those wagging tongues have to say nor do i bother one bit. What disturbs me is how do people bring themselves to do such a thing? How?

Dear Prakriti,

Good to know you are blogging again :)

As for hypocrisy goes... I guess some amount is in each one of us. I agree with Prashant, whether knowingly or unknowingly, we too practise hypocrisy more than you think. But yes, what counts is effort... to be or not to be a part of it. So boo to hypocrisy :)

@ Prashant: I know that all of us are hypocrites at some point or the other but there has to be a limit to it. Dont u think so? I mean in the face???? How foolish and how superficial?
