I do not consider it hypocritical to encourage others to live better than I do, to reach for goals I have not reached, to attain a higher plane of existence than I have. But, if I indicate that I have achieved those higher levels in my life and then challenge others to match my accomplishments, that is hypocrisy.<BR/><BR/>I have a major problem with people who pretend to hold to and live by "good morals" and ideals, but who obviously (or sometimes not so obviously) do not in fact live up to their pretensions. To me, those are the real hypocrits of the world, not the people who extoll the virtues of living properly, without pretending to do so themselves.Gerald McDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03032201828179314072noreply@blogger.com
