We have all done it! We have spoken on one side then played the other. It may of been unintentional or just straight up an accident. We are creatures of habits, so can we really be blamed? Well personally I just find that to be a waste of time. There are so many hypocrites that are out there that we cannot just pick and choose off this very factor. At least Hypocrites speak the truth (or at least believe it to be true), its the liar that we should be worried about.
We are born, raised a particular way, enter a world of diversity, and change the entire time. Its hard to change your own personal habits but its possible. After actual work you can fully take your daily routine and create a new habit. During this time you will have the beliefs that you developed in this forever changing life, these beliefs could be a new discovery and contradict your own patterns. You are therefore a hypocrite! How dare you speak the truth to the masses and you yourself carry one your own old habits.
All I can say is at least this hypocrite is speaking the truth. If the person who tells you to brush your teeth does not themselves brush their teeth, does this mean that brushing your teeth is wrong? No, of course not this hypocrite that does not brush their teeth just has to suffer the consequences, but at least he is speaking the truth to others and the ones that listen will benefit.
It is the cousin that is the one to worry about. Though participates in much the same behavior the liar has an extra attribute, he seeks to deceive. This is the blinding force towards regular hypocrites that causes disturbance in our little corner of the universe. Since the liar and the hypocrite both do something other than what is said, many people fall into thinking all hypocrites are liars. We must not overlap these two in such harsh ways. Better yet we must not get into the personal life of the speaker.
I think we can solve much more by just listening rather than watching to ensure this person is 'perfect'. As an individual it is best to practice what one preaches but also as an individual if I hear truth then I hear truth. If the person is not wise or strong enough to carry out his/her own voice of wisdom then that is their fault. The liar is what I'm worried about, but the liar already speaks falsehood so he is really irrelevant. He is just some small miniscule voice that just falls into the masses ready to be discarded by knowledge.
Instead of wasting our time digging into every detail of someones life, just let them live and decipher the message yourself, then live the life as you see to live. Yes we should check credibility of the speaker, but that just means seeing how much experience the person has on the issue not seeing if they smoke pot. I think as a species that is growing we would get much more done by finally throwing out the irrelevant and getting down to the point. Listen to the hypocrite, much wisdom can be said.
