ive have been hearing alot about hypocrisy lately. and i have my thoughts.
and bear with them. because they are jumbled in my brain. and im sorri if it contradicts your thoughts. and if it does. i am happily open to other opinions. because a strong background of information can only make me stronger.
besides the point... here goes... and i am sorry.
being hypicritcal is something that humans can not aviod. no matter what we are always contradicting ourselves or otherwise changing our opinions making it seem like we are in a constant state of contradiction.. you may one day believe that some one who said they were never going to have sex have it, but where is the line drawn to changing opinions versus a state of self hypocrisy. i guess that is a pretty subtle example. but then again, the subtle facts in life are always the ones that are overlooked. i guess it becomes a blatant form of hypocricy if one was to say never to drink and go get drunk right then. but that is BLATANT. and that is publically hypocritcal. but. if you say your not going to drink and then later change an opinion to drink is that considered an act of self judgement or is it consider a form of cantradiction.
hypocricy is a really difficult thing to define. people have the oppurtunity at any time to change their opinion making everyone dangerous and vulnerable. vulnerable to deception, corruption or any form of evil. but also, tha abiltity to change can be used as good, changing what had the potential to destroy into a fighting force for any good effort. but then again. what is good and bad is a CONSTANT contradiction in itself. you never have a good without its evil. the wrong behind this is that a good could be an evil from a different perspective as can a evil be good. it isnt necessarly a contradiction. it could be an opinion. and hypocricy and contradiction versus opinion cross a tight rope of standards. say if you change your opinion to start drinking[as an example, not as a attack]. it could be looked as a hypocricy because maybe you never planned on drinking or you were trying to wait or whatnot, but to the peopl you were drinking with it would be a change of opinion.
thats why it is prudent not to judge peoples standards of living. but yes even i do this constantly, along with everyone else. i admit i size up my competetion and way them down all the time. ALL THE TIMe. in my head, with my mouth whatever. but at least i am aware of this. it is something i know i do. and ill be the first to admit that i am a hypocrite. but maybe that is what defines an opinion over a contradiction. reconition of the act of change.
i dunno..
but i have to go to swim...
