Kind disregard the the previous version of this article, as I made some amendment for the same. You can publish any time as per your convenience.
As I have said in my earlier articles, life itself is a lesson that we encounter many things which makes us pleased and others that makes us feel unpleasant circumstances Deriving from that reality, over the last few years, I have come across lot of hypocrisy stories from some personalities of Somali society which pleases me reason being, the same is unprincipled act. Being a Muslim and adult, it is dishonorable act speaking something that you did not believe it in reality. The term hypocrite originates from the Greek language. It originally meant playing a part on a stage; the same as our modern day word actor. Today the word hypocrite means pretending to be something you are not. We can divide hypocritical people into three categories. The following will explain each type. The first type is the people whose heart is not in it. They go along with you for politeness sake, but they would rather be doing something else.
People who purposely deceive others are the second type of hypocrite. Speaking well so that others can see and praise your good persons is a form of hypocrisy. How often do we tell others of our deeds, hoping for a word of praise and a pat on our backs Hypocrite is someone who “pretends to be better than he really is or to be pious, virtuous without really being so.” A hypocrite is someone who says one thing and does the opposite. One of the main reasons people have double standards is that they desire to have the best of both worlds. The people committing hypocritical acts normally try to use some form of rationalization to justify their actions. truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is hypocrisy.” Be true to yourself. Beware of the person with two faces. False friends leave you in times of trouble.
It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself. The only thing worse than a liar the hypocrite! How clever you are, my dear! You never mean a single word you say. Hypocrisy is the most difficult and nerve-racking vice that any man can pursue; it needs an unceasing vigilance and a rare detachment of spirit.. With people of limited ability modesty is merely honesty. But with those who possess great talent it is hypocrisy. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. Hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue. Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not. The value of an idea has nothing whatever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it. your beliefs must become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.” Desires dictate our priorities, priorities shape our choices, and choices determine our actions.” Belief means nothing without actions. Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words.
Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny one of the great tragedies of life is that men seldom bridge the gulf between practice and profession, between doing and sayings. The sentiment behind the saying actions speak louder than words is expressed in many cultures. Another way of looking at this old saying, “actions speak louder than words,” is as a guide for how to live life. Actions should meet verbal obligations or sentiments, and they should not contradict them. If a person constantly talks about the plight of the poor but never thinks of donating to a charity or in any way mitigating that plight, their words have a hollowness or empty quality. However there is certainly evidence that actions speak than louder than words in a variety of circumstances.
The parent who tells a child not to smoke and then lights a cigarette is unlikely to convince that child of the evils of smoking. This has been proven by statistical information showing the greater likelihood of children becoming smokers if their parents smoke. Clearly, in some instances, actions will influence more than words, and though words remain powerful, how people act may mitigate the effects of language, or prove its power. In the end, let us compare hypocrisy and sincerity and chose the appropriate one that can develop society to further progress. The English quote what dictate that “We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” is based on truthful evidence. a narrative of English song says the following : We are all equal in the fact that we are all different. We are all the same in the fact that we will never be the same. We are united by the reality that all colours and all cultures are distinct & individual. We are harmonious in the reality that we are all held to this earth by the same gravity. We don’t share blood, but we share the air that keeps us alive. nothing more shameful telling people what did not believe in reality.Ever wondered if you’re a hypocrite who can’t be trusted? Of course you haven’t; no one does. Even the most morally bankrupt of us believe that the things we say and the things we do match up perfectly. This is how you keep yourself from inconsistency. The truth, though, is that we’re all hypocrites in one form or another. It’s almost impossible to get through life without coming across a situation where your beliefs and the things you say don’t match up with what you actually do. Sometimes you even hold competing beliefs about similar ideas depending on how they’re presented.
A hypocrite despises those whom he deceives, but has no respect for himself. He would make a dupe of himself too, if he could. Being a practiced liar doesn’t mean you have a powerful imagination. Many good liars have no imagination at all; it’s that which gives their lies such wide-eyed conviction. Hypocrites are experts at blaming others, while empathetic people are experts at blaming themselves. These dynamics leave you feeling self-conscious, inferior, insecure, and like nothing you do will ever be good enough like someone is always judging you.Hypocrites spend their lives cheating, betraying, conning, and deceiving. But despite this disgusting pattern of behaviour, they still feel entitled to point out (or invent) the most minor mistakes in others and they’ll point them out repeatedly, to negate & excuse all of their own horrible actions.Here are some warning signs: Do as I say, not as I do. Their actions never seem to match up with their charming words. They have extremely high expectations in you, but don’t seem to follow those standards themselves. The rules apply to others, but they do not apply to me. They believe they are above the law both legally and ethically. They feel entitled to behave however they choose, but others must be kept in line at all times. It is always someone else’s fault. It’s not their fault for lying. It’s your fault for being so petty and pointing out their lie. They might also bring up your past mistakes, to prove that their lie isn’t actually so bad by comparison. Someone is always out to get them, and that’s the reason behind all of their problems. Anyone who points out my wrongdoings should be punished.
When all else fails, you must be punished, so you learn not to point out their lies anymore. This can be done through triangulation, cheating, and most commonly the silent treatment. They speak down to you as if you are intellectually deficient and emotionally unstable. They laugh when you try to express yourself, dismissing any concerns you might have as hyper-sensitive. Lies & excuses. Hypocrites have excuses for everything. You will find that they spend a lot more time excusing their behaviour than ever actually improving it. Instead of apologizing or admitting fault, they simply ignore reality & argue with solid evidence when confronted with it. They lie even when the truth would suffice. They want the rule to be applied to others and not for them. They want to be listened at all times and not listen to others. They want speaking all the time, but not let others speaking. They want everyone to be patient for them, but never be patient to other. They all the time be praised, but never admit if someone deserve praise. They feel bad in the event someone talk against their next to kin, but they never bad talking other personalities that possibly not closed by blood. In the event anyone who points out their wrong doings, he mistaken, but if someone tell them being wrong, they feel upset .Hypocrisy can be glaring or subtle. Hypocrisy always reflects a projection, a certain amount of self-denial, as well as emotional and spiritual immaturity. Last, but not the lease, People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
