hypocrisy.
hypocrisy. the act of preaching something and then failing to act in line with your teachings or words or advices and whatnot.
it’s basically a crime ALL of us commit. we, humans, are idealistic creatures. forms of life whose actions tend to deviate from what we believe to be the right thing or right path to take.
we are all hypocrits.
i always find it amusing/confusing/dumb that when i have friends who come to me with their relationship problems and i tell them what to do, i comfort them, i sometimes even just tell them lies just to make them feel better and yet, in retrospect, i realise that i need the same from other people.
people do that don’t they? you know… why is it? basically, we’re all capable of solving our own problems with ease right? basically it just means that we can live life on our own, taking each problem, putting in a little bit of effort and thought and then spend the next 5 minutes just realising the logic behind that problem and hey, presto! it’s solved and we’re all good to go.
but no. it’s never that easy.
the very simple fact that we’re wired to be able to speak but yet, the implementation of that fact or idea is another issue altogether. ever find it difficult to do something when saying it has always been so easy? that actions speak louder than words? that every single sorry you ever said is worth nothing unless you do something about it? that every promise made is just a promise until you fulfill that promise or spend the rest of your life standing by your promise?
it’s true. hypocrisy is sorta built into all of us. hypocrits of our words and actions.
haha what’s the point of the post? i don’t know.
i just had this realization from a long time ago and just wanted to share it with you guys.
………
“take all the time you need. because in circumstances now, all we have is time. i’m trying my best. and in some aspects, i think it’s working and it’s good that i know that things are changing. for the better too. i think before i would have said that the clock is ticking away, and the time for me to leave is fast approaching.. but now, i look at it as there is no clock and time doesn’t tick down anymore because i want our friendship to be timeless. no boundaries, no bars. to adapt, to familiarise with the new circumstances, to understand that this is where we stand now.. it all just takes time. and you can take all you need.”
yes. we are ALL hypocrites. and how I hate (well, that’s an overstatement..) how some people seem to tell me they’re no hypocrites, while I can name at least 5 things they have done what would def. make them hypocrites… maybe denial, maybe they think it’s the way of life, whatever.

it is the way of life.
a life of hypocrisy. wanting people to think that we’re above their problems. wanting people to know that we’re not affected by the same problems plaguing them. but in reality, we’re just about the same as everyone else going through the same ol shit as everyone.
and we pretend to know the answers to solving them.
good that we’re on the same wavelength. haha
