how do you define a hypocrite, as per the dictionary
A person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives
The definition seems so broad that it seems there is a part of it in all of us, but the question that I ask is, Is it all that bad?
We can say loads of stuffs in favor of the above question, but I will give my argument, why I do not think such a person is always an evil.
We do all sorts of evil things in daily life, hurt people, abuse people, do things which are considered as unethical immoral in any culture, civilization and religion. Yet we proud ourselves by saying, I am what I am and not what you or so to speak the society wants me to be. It is good to some extent because at least one would know what to expect from him. But then think it this way you are actually creating examples for people that this also a way of life and being bad in not that bad, Its just about what you want. They thus suck docile people into there act, and make a bigger pool of the type.
So my point is you can be bad, but boosting your evil in public is worse.
Point is if you think your act is good and it will spread good in the society be as straight forward as you can, be as vocal as you can. But if it is otherwise, keep you bad acts private to you, at-least do not spread the virus to others. In that scenario I feel being a hypocrite is not that bad, if you can not change you evil ways at least do not show it in public.
This might draw criticism that I am supporting the idea of doing bad things in private and being a good face in public. But the point is it can check the spread of evil to some extent.
Hope I am able to convey
