I hate hypocrites and i don't want to be one. I try my best not to be and i wish i never will be. In my twitter I saw this quote: Everyone is a hypocrite, our words will somehow contradict with our actions at one point in our life. I think it's somehow true and it maybe happening to me now.
What do you think?

I think at some point during our life we all are in one way or another. Maybe even without realizing it that we are being so.

My emotions are hypocritical but my actions aren't. Well I try not to be a hypocrite. There has been times where I gave in to my emotions and act like a hypocrite or become a hypocrite. I hear many views and opinions that seem hypocritical but I think it is because the lack of understanding that causes it or they rather have it where they are allowed to have a view but others aren't allowed to have a view.

I agree. We can control our actions but not our thoughts. We just have to be careful of not putting those thoughts into actions though.

I saw that in my Twitter page as well. Of course, to cover our dirty linen, we pretend to act like we didn't do anything wrong.

I think that this happens because as individuals we are highly complex- we change and we grow and sometimes we try to dissociate ourselves from what we have done in the past. Or what we do now - its a phenomenon called cognitive dissonance.

Come moments in life when you have to unfortunately suffer from insidious attitude of certain people, without you realize and understand that without you just know it happens extremely disappointing and morally dirty.
Why nobody has learned that when it came time to consider the trust, then it is better to stay away most, but already too late ... a possible target you become a victim of a safe character who hides under the guise of benevolent malice, deceit and dishonesty.
When you thought that life can get a different sense, very much wanted and expected of you as a man of yourself as a set of experiences and feelings when they believe you still have chances and hope for honesty and common sense, everything is wiped from because the most cruel suffering and disease is affected a significant part of humanised creatures, namely: hypocrisy.
Sweet words, statements sumptuous gentleness of gestures and grand plans, proved to be just an advanced form of lies and indifference. Unfortunately, without you and without you realize, or realize any moment what is really going on, you became an actor in a play attributed cheap and deceptive, but staged a full determination of someone who believed that is part of good and moral world you live.
Evil won again ... now you're down and try to get up, it's hard, hard ... I know, but you can not let anyone destroy what's your best in you and that is common sense, hope and love that you are able, and anyway, as any "good deed shall not be unpunished" as well as any evil deed will pay sooner or later.

I am a hypocrite before I even knew the meaning of the word. I always insult couples who are too sweet and too close with each other in a public place. But when i got a boyfriend, I did the same thing. It is like what happened to my brother. He said he hated to own a cellphone but after 3 years, he bought an iphone. Everyone is just a critic my friend.
