Why are some people hypocrites?

Question

With 99% of the things they say in life?

Answer 1

I think everyone is a little bit hypocritical ... we just don't like it when someone notices.

Answer 2

Some people aren't hypocrites....but all people are....if they are truthful.

Every person who walks the face of the earth will say one thing....then turn around and do the other....

It is human nature.....

Answer 3

When a person really wants to hide something, they often hide behind hypocrisy and think they can fool others.

For example, If a person claims to hate men who visit prostitutes, he may be making that claim because he actually does that himself, but he thinks his pious attitude will keep others from seeing (or even suspecting) the truth.  Remember the revelations about Jimmy Swaggart's hypocrisy a few years ago.  Of course he's just one among millions who hide behind the lies and half-truths of hypocrisy.

Answer 4

As this is supposed to be Sociology, I such you read E. Goffman. In particular, his "Presentation of self in everyday life" and "Forms of talk".

Basically people present different faces depending on their audience.

Answer 5

It is easier to judge others and find fault in them than it is to find humility and admit your own. Also alot of the time you say things to please others in order to fit in and be liked, yet your own truth is the oppisite.

Answer 6

Ever heard about the "Freemasons" (Not Free  Mot Masons).

They are in All Politics, Police, Judges, Banks, Media.

They control EVERYTHING.

They are seretive RATS that dwell in darkness and live their life a Lie.

Gordon Brown, Tony Blair ==>All Freemasons.

They are hypocrits because they have to live a life in secrecy and Lies.

And they have to push this down to society to cover up their crimes.

It is very simple.

Da Vinci was a "FREEMASON" and they have a different vision then us because they are not from this planet.

Proof?!

Take any picture from Da Vinci (best: "Battle of Anghiari").

Take it into Photoshop and copy and paste it TWICE into two Layers.

Layer 2 make 50% transparent ==>Opacity = 50%

Now you can move Layer 2 with your Arrow Keys left or right.

You will see many strange Images, mostly scary creatures and Images of destruction, as well as the "Freemasons" square and Compass.

It works on many Levels and you should do this procedure with Images from the Times the Pope and the Queen.

You will be amazed.

How is this possible?

Because we see from left to right and with concenration you can superimpose in your mind, your "3rd" eye, the "Freemasons" eye, the eye of "Horus".

Don't beleive me, do it and you'll find the same!

Answer 7

because they choose to be...

Answer 8

I think some hypocritical statements are made out of diplomacy, some just dont realise. Remember we are all very complex beings and our thoughts/words/actions dont always match up. We could voice an ideal scenario but in reality find that our upbringing forces us in a slightly different direction. What comes out of peoples mouths should be taken with a pinch of salt - let their actions speak for them

Answer 9

Because we live in an irrational world with about 6.7 billion people in it, which means not one set rule will apply to every situation or individual.

Answer 10

Because people can often see the line between right and wrong - or atleast, what they conceive to be right and wrong - but when the time comes for them to make the 'right choice' they take the easier, more convenient option before they've realised it.

Which is usually the 'wrong choice'. =D

Answer 11

I completely agree with Rosebud. I think it is easy for us to comment one way on on a subject but when we are faced in the situation we act in the complete opposite.

Answer 12

It is their nature to be so.

Answer 13

Fear of what other people might think about them, if they are speaking their real mind.
