People are on to you, and the ramifications are worse than you think. Two-faced and worthless. Be the real you. Listen to your conscience. Form your own opinions.
And live your life with honor. One of the best rewards from achieving success is knowing that you earned your achievements through hard work, commitment, and integrity. The same is true of living a good life. Believe in yourself. Be authentic. Live the truth! At the end of the day, be proud of what you do and who you are. After all, you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life.

So incredibly true…….. The person who unfortunately has left a lasting impression on my soul…. It sounds pretty bad. The way I see it, as long as karma exists, people ultimately get what they deserve. I do think it is posible to transcend it with enough self-awareness.
Especially by acknowleging one is a hypocrite. Confidence in beliefs, in my experience, can lead to the biggest hypocrites. Enjoyed the article. Good job! I believe that folks who care about the journey as well as just the destination are less likely to be hypocrites. After all, they have to live with themselves for the rest of their life. I found myself reading this article because I think I have just cut off someone who is a hypocrite. I think one needs to practice self-discipline that eventually results in confidence, and somehow raising self-awareness.
Anyways, thank you for the article, Frank. Some folks make every effort to do better and to be better. Others do whatever they have to do to get what they want. The real prize for living with integrity is making yourself proud. You can take great pride in knowing that you held yourself to a high standard and never compromised your ideals. You fought hard to attain your dreams, but you did so with dignity and grace.
The hypocrisy will become not just a personal hypocrisy of the agent, but rather a broader, almost conspiratorial hypocrisy of greater society. So the more you think one hypocritical agent is getting unfair press coverage, and the more you defend that agent, the worse you make it for that agent. Email Address.

I wonder if earnest Millennials have a special dislike of hypocrisy. Think about it. Or if not, at least pretend you will. Learn More. Outside a religious context, a hypocrite is one who pretends to civic virtue or moral excellence while practicing their opposite in private. A man known to be a womanizer is not a hypocrite.
The man who presents the public image of a faithful husband and is discovered to be a philanderer or worse, is a hypocrite. Saying you believe in equal pay for equal work and paying your own female employees less than the men for the same work.
Calling for severe penalties on employing illegal immigrants and hiring an undocumented housekeeper for your own family. Declaring yourself a supporter of gender equality and expecting the only woman in the room to serve the coffee. No question, sometimes the words hypocrite , hypocrisy , and hypocritical are the correct choices, but not always. Sometimes words like liar , dishonesty , and wishy-washy would be more apt when the context is telling outright lies, breaking the law, or flip-flopping on political positions without regard to principle.
