Hypocrisy
No one likes a hypocrite, but it sure beats the alternative; a person without a moral standard.

Perhaps hypocrisy is on a spectrum. The way I have heard some people define it (not living what you value) makes EVERYONE a hypocrite to some degree.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the joke about the man who was invited to church...
ReplyDeleteHe says, "Na, too many hypocrites."
His friend replies, "Come on friend! One more won't hurt!" ;-)
Or...A hypocrite is someone who's not himself on Sunday...
I think it depends a lot on how intensional the hypocrite is too...
