Disguise of Hypocrisy

The fatal flaw which divides the self in two, resulting in a conflict of opposites and a conflict of identity. Many of us have this version of ourselves we want to portray to some, and yet another version all together we portray to the rest. This disguise, this mask that we remove and replace fools no one but ourselves. In light of recent groups, I’ve been thinking of just how detrimental my hypocrisy is. Has its prevalence inhibited my growth and relationships? Has it been one of the primary factors in preventing wholeness? These are some questions I’ve been asking myself in an effort to better understand why I haven’t been able to succeed. There are many times when I just don’t care to be real, to be myself, and this has lasting unintended consequences. I realize I need to take the advice I would give to others. I realize that I can criticize others for their perceived mistakes when I do the exact same things. This week I’m being more aware in aligning my beliefs with my actions and to act with love instead of judgement and criticism.
