I've been having a hard time deciding what to write about today. It shouldn't be that hard, since this blog is just a conglomerate of my thoughts, and its not like I have stopped thinking. Then why can't I find something to write about. The reason I can't write about the thing I'm thinking about is that I'm scared I'll become a hypocrite. If I was writing about what I was thinking about for most of today I believe it could be a compelling piece, but I am not sure that I would actually never go against what I wrote. So why is it so bad to be deemed a hypocrite in our society, when so many people our one. You can even go back to the common saying of "Do as I say not as I do", which effectively tells you the person saying this is a hypocrite.
There are so many variables, and things in life, that at some point or another everyone of us will be a hypocrite. Despite the negativity surrounding the word hypocrite, I do not think it is all that bad. Effectively being a hypocrite is not being able to follow your own beliefs, with actions. What would you call someone who believes in a better world, than most other people believe in. You would call that person an optimist. So in my opinion being a hypocrite some of the time just means you are a self optimist, who believes in themselves, and what they can become. A hypocrite states what they want to be, or work to be, with their hypocrisies being their mistakes that they will try to fix. To ever progress in any field mistakes must be made, and this is no different in self improvement. So while being a hypocrite is not a good thing, it can mean that you believe, and our working towards a better self. This of course should be taken with a grain of salt, because when I am talking about being a hypocrite I am not talking about people who lie about their beliefs, and follows a completely different set then what they say their beliefs are, but those who tell the truth about their beliefs, and sometimes fail to live up to them. To use math to finish my point (Kinda)
Hypocrite=Negative term Optimist=Positive term
Hypocrite(Or negative term)= Self Optimist=but is being a self optimist a negative term? No so Hypocrite must not actually be a negative term!
There you have it, an optomisitc point of view on a hypocrites stance. Have an splendid day!
