♥ If a person has standards of living, is it hypocritical to hold exceptions?

Here is an example. I am a homunculus and the personification of Lust for those ignorant fools who have not yet realized. As such, I am superior to most creatures in both my physical power and sense of purpose. Yet I somehow manage to find a sense of respect for

"You're just a bitch."

♥ You're just jealous.

"I'm gonna melt that ice, one day."

♥ That will be the day I die.

I fully embrace hypocrisy as a way of coping with social situations. After all, if I did not place many of the beings here in the "not actually Muggles" category, I'd never be able to hold a conversation.

I am pleased that we figure so highly in your personal social order, Draco Malfoy.

Actually, as a non-human, you automatically fall into the "powerful being in its own right" category. It might not get you invited to tea in my world, but no one would go out of their way to offend you, either.

♥ So you you have situational exceptions rather than personal? The fact that you are within the Nexus makes it an acceptible and necessary evil.

[apocolypse_mind]

The majority of humanity is a detestable, self-serving horde. Still, there are those who rise above the rest as examples of what a sentient creature should be.

[iwiwal]

♥ I agree. However, that does not answer my question.

[apocolypse_mind]

To answer you then, no it does not. It implies a higher state of understanding and the knowledge that your ideals are not perfect.

[iwiwal]

♥ The way you describe it, if awareness is the deciding factor, it is only hypocritical if you do not acknowledge the possibility of hypocrisy.

"There are exceptions to every rule."

[iwiwal]

♥ So by the nature of the world, there is no hypocrisy, or the world itself is hypocritical?

[canadianninja]

"The latter."

[the_darkest_fae]

Everyone is a hypocrite. No matter what they do. So I do what I have to in order to takeover coexist with the world. I don't bother myself with such things because if it holds me back, it is not worth troubling over.

♥ It is necessary for me to understand and direct the actions of mankind. Though I do not agree with the philosophies of most men, I am required to grasp their thought processes, and twist situations to benefit myself. Not to mention, I get so bored on occasion.
