Both ways

--

We cannot ask for honesty when we lie.

Respect when we treat others with disrespect.

Cry for freedom from hate while we rage against certain types of people.

Love as a principle, be that a moral, ethical or religious principle, cannot be dissected into parts. Love for them, but not THEM.

Hypocrisy — c. 1200, ipocrisie, “the sin of pretending to virtue or goodness” — lives when we want both ways to co-exist.

There is a blindness to hypocrisy. We cannot see it in ourselves. To claim our virtue while enacting the opposite is to be a hypocrite.

Against our blindness, we might surround ourselves with people who care enough about us to point out hypocrisy in our words and actions.
