Hypocrisy


Hypocrisy, to my mind is one of the most exasperating, illogical and bad thing to have to put up with. You will have most likely experienced this element of being bad in your home as a child because I would guess that at least nine out of ten parents are hypocrites. It is the "do as I say, not as I do" thing that parents put you through as a child. You can't seem to make sense of what it is you are meant to do in life because all of the things you are not meant to do they either have done or are still doing.
Yet parents are not the only ones skilled at this level of "being bad", politicians and celebrities are brilliant at it too. Only last night Prince Charles held a conference about climate change and the need for the Human race to recognise that we are destroying the Earth. Yet he flies around in his own private jet!
But by far the biggest hypocrites of them all are the religious. The Bible alone is filled with thousands of statements which it goes back on later on. Just one such example of many without going into a religious rant is that if men and women were created equal why are women seen as subservient in the bible? Why is a woman's place at her husband's side?
To conclude, hypocrisy is just another one of the elements that make up being bad that has no reverse side.
