Hypocrisy is an expression of any kind, which is non existent in real conviction or sincerity by virtue of pretending to have qualities or beliefs that one does not really have. Its behavioral inconsistency, resulting in failing to practice what you preach.
The key to understanding our behavioral inconsistencies lies in understanding the mind’s design. The human mind consists of many specialized units designed by the process of evolution by natural selection. While these modules sometimes work together seamlessly, they don’t always, resulting in impossibly contradictory beliefs, vacillations between patience and impulsiveness, violations of our supposed moral principles, and overinflated views of ourselves.
To be yourself in a world that is trying you, not to be yourself is the greatest self achievement.
Actually, the glamorous life of modern age attract most of the people to get fame wealth and comfort. In no time the sense of competition has placed every individual against other individual. And inequality in our society has accelerated the social evil. Adults often teach their youngsters about what is right and wrong, but when it comes to them to take a decision they may choose the wrong pretending it better for all. People, especially are affected by those who pretend to be what they wish to but are not. This is a world of rat race; everybody wants to have the best if they cannot have it, they will pretend or if they already have it — they will exaggerate to showoff — this not only makes them hypocrite but also affects others, which will not hesitate to use wrong and false means in order to impress others. Even people use their education to showoff.
Children learn by observing their elders not by their verbal commandments. Hence, the elders should present pure and true role model for the juniors. It is a matter of disappointment that ultimately brings hatred against the system and the people who brought them up when they notice their parents are not following the golden rules they had taught their kids with all zeal and zest.
We seem to have a kind of paranoia that everyone apart from us is busy breaking the moral principles that hold society together.
Everything we see, read or hear is somewhat a lie, formulated for us in consumer services, radio, TV, shops, commercials, advertisements, films and dramas. Mostly our politicians, lawyers, businessmen and advertising executives have hypocrisy in their lives, pretending and paying lip services is so easy for them. Hypocrites are now everywhere wearing the masks of piety and sincerity but inside their heart, they are our worst enemy and above that they are enemy of their own.
