Why do many people talk about hypocriticism like it's the worst sin of all? Yes, hypocriticism is bad, but as long as people strive towards goodness there is bound to be hypocriticism. After all, humans are weak and fallible, thus consistency in ideals is something that's impossible for us to achieve. The only way people can be totally unhypocritical, the way i see it, is to be consistently bad, and is there a point to doing that? Is being consistently bad and thus unhypocritical any more morally sound than being inconsistently good? So it's okay to persist and persist in a wrong point of view because it's hypocritical to change your mind?
