Heights of Hypocrisy

Hi again!! Today, unlike my usual posts, I have presented my opinion on this controversial topic to bring this topic onto the center stage and lead you all to ponder over hypocrisy as this has become very common now and it’s just a contagious poison.

Hypocrisy is evident almost everywhere. People say one thing and the other moment, they casually say another thing that is completely contradictory to the first statement. In the nick of minutes, they present two diverse perspectives. In a way, it also manifests how manipulative a person can be and deceiving and deceptive simultaneously.

I’d love to share two of my real-life encounters with a hypocrite. Once someone tells me that I’m not needed by them. The other day, they come to me pleading to do the exact same thing for which I wasn’t required by them. When I quote their words to them, they simply act like they never said that and rather get upset for self-defence.

Another example which actually prompted me to draft this essay though thousands of times I felt the urge to pen down my views on this topic earlier but this was something for which I felt really awful for someone else. I won’t be able to reveal the whole story (it would create whole lotta hassles for me) but I can give the crux of it. Okay I tried expressing without revealing the identities but then it would become too difficult to comprehend. Let’s say ‘A’ is the hypocrite ‘B’ is the hypocrite’s dear one and ‘C’ is a token of love offered by ‘B’. So, the hypocrite ‘A’ bluntly refuses for C which is very heartily offered by ‘B’ and makes up an excuse for declining B’s offer. Just after a few moments, ‘A’ gainsays their own lame reason and accepts ‘C’ from someone else. I felt really bad for ‘B’. I’m afraid if you would even be able to understand this or not.

For me, it is super annoying and flustering whenever I witness such acts as I hate the pretentiousness and the pessimistic aura created by such people. I feel that a hypocrite has a mask on [though everyone should don a tangible mask for safety nowadays;)] and people revolve around this particular person not knowing his/her bitter reality. Why is that so? Because that person conceals his/her weak points and traits by the filter of hypocrisy. With the help of this filter, they succeed in catering to all and gradually winning their hearts not realizing the true essence of life i.e., to make yourself happy not to make others gratified by your actions. I pity the double-faced people most of whom are middle-aged and even old-aged who are so-called “mature big people”. However, it is contradictory as even after reaching this age they are not able to escape the invisible traps engineered by God to test them. But people being people do not think out of the box, they are unwilling to stop clinging to their small protective shields and step out of their comfort zones. That is exactly what people of the older generations usually lack- maturity and ability to critically analyse. The reason being they have a fixed mindset which hampers their growth.

Anyhow, as long as these ridiculous fellows are inserted like blisters in my life, it works for me as they continually bestow (deliberately used) me content to write and that keeps me going. 😁

So, what are your views on hypocrisy? Comment down how you feel.
