On hypocrisy

Everyone is a hypocrite. Everyone lives a double standard. But most people live in the gray area so that the difference between what is acceptable and what is unacceptable is minute, so the contradictions are less obvious.

Those who live in the extreme areas are more easily spotted for their hypocrisy because the difference between what is acceptable and unacceptable is more clearly defined and more on opposite sides from each other.

But it’s all relative. And it doesn’t change that we’re all hypocrites. If we can accept this in ourselves, it’s easier to accept it in others.
