I think we're all hypocritical. No matter how self aware we are, we always fall into this trap called hypocrisy. I don't think we're hypocritical because we do it consciously (at least for the most of us). I think we're hypocritical because we want to believe we're people of high(er) moral standards. We look upon a certain action and disagree (vocally) with it, yet commit the same action not more than two hours later.
We want to believe we're good people. More than deceiving others, we try to deceive ourselves. If we disagree with it, if we commit to saying we're against it, maybe we'll believe that we really won't do the same thing.
But you see, we are human (read: broken). We are broken but beautiful, empty but infinite, lost but found. So we will always try to win, but lose. And to agree with a friend - these paradoxes make life inspiring, extravagant, delicate. Thirsting for so much more.
Maybe one day - one day we'll get it right.
For the month of February and beyond: Your love never fails, it never gives up, never runs out on me.
