Hypocrisy as defined in the dictionary reads: an expression of agreement that is not supported by real conviction. The act or practice of a hypocrite; a feigning to be what one is not, or to feel what one does not feel; a dissimulation, or a concealment of one’s real character, disposition, or motives; especially, the assuming of false appearance of virtue or religion; a simulation of goodness.
What does all of this mean to us? Well this is practically the essence of what it is to be human. No other species in the world has, or practices “hypocrisy”. This is a vice that we in modern society have perfected to a fine art. It can almost be said that civilization as we know it today cannot survive without hypocrisy.
