Something to the Hypocrite in All of Us
A true story: today in my sports appreciation class we were talking about how people can use their muscles more for exercise. Everyone was throwing out things left and right, which in my opinion made most of them sound like hypocrites. Things like "use the stairs instead of the escalators or elevators", "walk instead of using a car". Now a brief observation of my class, some of them are or were in sports, but something tells me that they'd enjoy a big drunken party instead of something simple or intellectual.
I'm pretty sure that all of us at one time or another have said something that we'd like to have implemented or to judge upon. But really its like passing judgement on yourself. Now I say this because I know for a fact that half of my class in this discussion will probably always go for the easier of the half of a problem. Yes I do believe that deep in my heart they will never use a set of stairs as opposed to an escalator. Why because people like to talk highly of themselves, we never want to talk down upon ourselves because then people think that we have some inferiority complex or are just plain emo. In terms of passing judgement on ourselves its like with me, sometimes I say things that make me sound like a hypocrite, and call me paranoid, I always think that someone will be hiding somewhere just to say "Aha!" when I go against what I say. Now I think that this idea doesn't pass the minds of people when it comes to putting the things you say into practice.
Do we really believe that we should say things that we don't mean just to please ourselves or others. Like with my example it's arguable that it was a discussion and someone had to say something, but really people should watch what they say sometimes because we need to believe that there is someone just waiting for us to mess up to put us down and judge us based on what we do instead of what we said. So in the end, just keep in mind that people really do need to be honest and put what we say into practice, because we never know who's just waiting to see us stumble that one time.
