Hypocrisy is overrated.

I don’t get it. Why is it such a surprise that people don’t do what they say?

As if it were any news that politicians lie, that corporations earn money and that human beings are primates driven by emotional responses. But nevertheless self righteous indignation arises every time it happens.
Aren’t it we raising the bar uncomfortably high for our fellow man, when we think he should live his life by the same bullshit ethics he is raised to believe in?

When we are taught to act in manners that conflict with who we are, and are shunned upon if we daresay differently, it can’t really be anything else than blatantly obvious that ‘a hypocrite’ is the perfect definition of modern man. And yet being a hypocrite is just as sinful as all of the reasons why you are one.

So answer this; isn’t ultimately every accusation of hypocrisy in itself hypocrisy?
