I hate people that will find a fault in someone, say it aloud and be ignorant to the fact that have the same fault. We all know one but what do we think of them?
yep, but in saying that I do sometimes catch myself being hypocritical and then have to smake myself upside the back of my head. A real trick to that too. I do hate it when people do that whole do as I say and not as I do. My sister was prime contender for the top prize of hypocrasy. She always used to go to town and really take to pieces anyone who cheated and told them how low they were and what scum they were and then in her late 40's she cheated on her husband. When she told me I was absolutely disgusted more for the fact that she told me which made me implicit and then refused to be honest with her husband. Also she did not take it kindly when I told her I that I was really disappointed in her and more for the first two reasons being that she told me and expected me to keep the secret and secondly that she didn't have the conviction and self regard to be honest with her hubby. I must say it wasn't long after that our relationship ended and partly because I felt so bad everytime I saw her husband that I felt sick.
I do hate hypocrits too. The worst ones are the ones that pretend to be everyones' friend and talk about them behind their backs. I do understand that one has to be polite with people at work, but there is a limit. I have a great example here at work. We have a lady (I am not sure whether I can call her that really) who keeps saying to people how she hates gays and foreigners and then she talks to me (foreigner) and one of my colleagues (gay) and pretends to be best mates, I scratch your back, you scratch mine! I just cringe everytime.
because I am generally a very open person, I tend to catch out a hypocrite when they have said or done something then I give them a wide berth as I have no respect for them and feel I could use my energies on more deserving people.
As others have said, hate is too strong a word, no one likes hypocrites, but ghostdog is riight, we are all guilty of it on occasion. The main thing is if you are self aware, and see yrself being that way at times, and reining yrself back in, as lisa said. None of us are perfect but we can always try to resist the temptation to be hypocritical, to gossip, nitpick,etc, ....all the things we don't like to observe in others...sometimes those people are like mirrors reflecting back to us what we do too, but dont really want to acknowledge.
I do not hate anyone but I do dislike hypocrittes. They are usually people who just have not thought about something enough to decide which side of the fence to fall on.
Are we all not guilty of hypocrisy in some form or another? Who has not acted as devils advocate or told a little white lie? Is it not hypocrytical to condemn others for acting in a manner no different than yourself, or are you possessed of some divine perfection?
