i always encounter with people who denied being a hypocrite. such a bull. i admit being a hypocrite at times. like for instance, you talk with your siblings in a rude way but when it comes to your crush you'd change dramatically to a dainty person. don't you think its a hypocrites base on the meaning...its ok being a hypocrites but if being a hypocrites involved a religion issues its never ok. eg. a person would only pray whenever being surround with people who does but in real life he carelessly disobey it. macam dalam cite Anak Betong tu...rasa mcm nak cekik2 je mamat tu kan???

being hypocrite in a way that you wanted to respect people, then i think its a norm. but it shouldn't be over done where people might be confusing which 1 is the real you.

but most importantly stay true to yourself..others, u can be hypocrites when times concern..wakakak
