Neodis: Revealing Hypocrisy Do you know what hypocrisy is? Probably it is term often used in our lives. When one man claims a standard that he holds others up to but not himself, he is a hypocrite. For example, if you steal one mans corpse and refuse to return it because you claim that your Lord disallows such an act then you have set a standard for your brothers. Well, I suppose your Lord has set the standard, but for the purposes of this example lets say its your standard because you are following it. This is all well and good. What happens then when your brother cries outrage because his own corpse has been stolen from him and he has been refused its return? Is this not a direct violation of the very principles that have been set down for you? If you have these high standards then you must apply them to all peoples. If you have higher standards then must you also not follow them yourself? Does your color give you the right to live by lower standards? I was once offended by this kind of action. Its all very amusing now to watch people who claim to be good acting in ways that I myself would not even act. All in the name of throwing down evil and establishing good. When you fight fire with fire, you double the heat. Kind regards |
