Hypocrisy tends to be the limelight of some when it comes to daily tendencies and issues. Looking at it from a wide perspective, we really cant say that no one is a hypocrite. Now can we? Narrow it down and we'll find that EVERYONE tends to be a hypocrite. Hypocrisy means to have certain moral standards but conform them.
This then leads to the next point of hypocrisy. Would you call a sudden change of perspective in an issue hypocrisy?
Would we think of hypocrisy as a means of maintaining the idea of STAYING true or NOT pointing fingers? Pointing fingers is one method of washing away the blame tagged on our foreheads. Despite the idea of relevance in logical reasoning.
When someone tells us of something that person has done or IS doing, but tells us NOT to, would you consider that hypocrisy?
I answer to this question with a strong NO. I would NOT consider someone who tells us or should i say, advice and educates us in such a preemptive way of learning. When someone has done something in their life, or even are still doing it, they would eventually let everyone know it is wrong. When you have someone who has been doing such a thing for so long, the habit tends to tag along. Which then refers back to my point of judgement in Hypocrisy and Advice.
I've seen such situations where questions have been raised;
" She's done it before! Who is she to tell me not to do it?! "
example 1
" He's doing it. Why can't i? And why should he be the one telling me NOT to do it?! "
example 2
Contemplating at the idea of advice would give us a rather clouded answer than a direct one i reckon.
When someone tells or lets you know that, "that's wrong. You shouldn't", we should think and see the truth in the logic. We have the 'aqal' or mind to think through all the reasonings in mind so that we don't blindly follow.
But some people of so-called wise thinks that, by retaliating, we tend to have victory. Think. That's all i ask of people who think that, people like me who stay up late, and tells my brother and sister to sleep early. They then rebel and say "what about you?!". I respect my siblings when they respect me. In that sense, i do give in. Using this as a context of this paragraph, what's the sense of uttering Hypocrisy Hypocrisy, when the backstage of this momentum is ultimately yours! Take it from a good perspective. Rather than taking it as a directive order. in a sense, "hmm he may be right, i should sleep early. But then again..." look at the double side of things. When you take in the yin and yang of things, you gain.
"Buang yang keruh, Ambil yang jernih"
"Throw the clouded, take the clear"
this saying does not only refer to taking the Good and leave the bad. But also the integration of Good+Bad and the ACT of taking the water. The action is One. Take the Water. But what or how you take the water matters more.
The ultimatum of this is that, a quotation follows:
" the pot calling the kettle black "
literally, the bottom of the pot is black. And so is the kettle. I'm referring to the kettle's of old by the way. But when you do not take what is good, then you are at loss!
When the pot calls the kettle black, the kettle might fight back. And in the procedure of fighting, the one who understands the situation wins. ie: knows what's best.
I'm referring to a feud i saw in front of my eyes and mind these few days where people tend to point fingers and utters hypocrisy. But isn't pointing a finger itself is hypocrisy? So, the maths of this would be hypocrisy+hypocrisy= nothing?
I find disgust when you state hypocrisy when you are hypocrite"ing" the whole event! What good is there when you say such mean things to people? What good is there when you slay a dragon? Why not take what's good and share the meat? Rather than just running off and pointing nails.
I've had quite enough honest. I pray to Allah me and my family will not be tagged as hypocrites. A hadith says:
Narrates ANAS:
by Rasulullah S.A.W
' None of you will have faith until he wishes for his brother (muslim) what he wishes for himself.'
I hope people would think and ponder for a moment. Look at the truth of it. Rather than making things worse, i'd rather make good sense of the situation. what would you do?
