How is it important to be honest? How different is it to be honest with one’s self and to be honest with others? How much is others’ perception worth while determining someone’s honesty? Isn’t it possible for someone to be completely honest with himself and yet dishonest in the eyes of others? If someone chooses a place where he can be all alone with himself, a place where no one else can touch, does that make him a hypocrite because to others, he is not what he is? If he chooses to hide a part of himself from others, does that make him a hypocrite? Is it wrong to feel vulnerable when someone lets himself known to another? Is it wrong for someone to try to protect himself from that vulnerability?
If u put in two different individuals together, wouldn’t it be a miracle if they just happen to agree on everything? Is it prudent to imagine a world where everyone just stuck to his honest opinions? Does every compromise make one more hypocritical, as u r accepting something who u r not, something u r not wont to do? Is it possible, then, to live without any compromise and stay completely honest? Can we say, I will stick to my own notions, and the world may go its own way?
But then, how will this work in the grand scheme of things? How will the world work if everyone stuck to his opinion and remained honest, without any compromise? Does agreeing with someone else’s opinion, different from yours, make you dishonest? How different is it from respecting someone else’s opinion?
If someone claims to despise a certain kind of behavior, but tries to justify it when he himself behaves that way, does he become a hypocrite? If he is able to justify it, does it cleanse him of his hypocrisy? Is the act of justification itself an act of hypocrisy?
Which one is more honest - shooting from the mouth, or taking time to think, and then speaking? How important is it to show one’s emotions? If someone tries to curb his anger, is he cheating? Should he just let it go?
If u decide not to do a certain thing which u want to, but ought not to do, does that make u a hypocrite? Isn’t that running away from who u r, what u want? Are we what we r, or what we want to be? If I don’t know who I am, can someone accuse me of being not being the real me?

yen.....!?
some people do understand da babbles.....do write more...
u'll need to be inhuman (literally) to be honest w/o compromise. Given 'identical' circumstances (say parallel universes) .. in every aspect (time,space,experience, sum total of life be4), can u make different choices ... that would prove hypocrisy exists.
