Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy is a common thing among us human beings that cannot be erased. I've experienced enough to say that no mere human is a stranger to hypocrisy. Thus, no mere human is eligible to state that they aren't a hypocrite.

In the past, I struggled so much dealing with the hypocrisy of people, to the point where I couldn't sleep peacefully at night without overthinking about "What if I was weird earlier and now my friends are laughing at me behind my back". I was quite miserable when I cared about everything.

Until I came to accept the fact that hypocrisy, though I don't like it, I would still have to live side by side with it, and there is absolutely nothing I could do to distance myself from it.

I came to the realization that everyone, from everywhere is a hypocrite. The priest that has preached about the wickedness of hypocrisy is a hypocrite. My dad who told me to not maintain hypocrisy is a hypocrite. And I am the biggest hypocrite of all.

Before, I've tried to not appeal as a hypocrite. But days go by, and now I'm at peace with hypocrisy. All human beings must understand that hypocrisy is a natural human flaw. All human beings are chained to hypocrisy.

You must not question when a person is stating your flaws behind your back, because, you too are no different than them. It's absolutely alright to feel a sense of guilt when you regret your hypocrite action(s), but when you don't, you needn't to pretend so.

If you're struggling to deal with the fact that hypocrisy is an endless practice that will continuously occur, here's some things I feel like I need to say to you:

• When meeting with people, you shouldn't have high expectations that they will be a perfectly saint, consistent human being. Always remember that hypocrisy can absolutely be possessed by everyone despite their background. Setting low expectations can help to minimalize the disappointment you may have later on.
• Not caring about hypocrisy starts with not caring about what others say about you, I advise to pick up the book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck" by Mark Manson to be able to fully understand how to stop caring about what's unimportant, including the hypocrisy of a person. This book teaches the readers to only focus on what they can control and act upon, so I summarized that this will be the perfect read for those who want to break-free from the overthinking loop.

So, whenever you meet a hypocrite, don't be disappointed, don't start overthinking, and certainly don't ever think you're different.
