Hypocrisy

My sun sign in Virgo .....may be that is why I have developed the trait of being introvert and always have trouble in making very good friends.But added to that the nature of people I have come across in my life and the bitter experiences associated with them have made my incapability to befriend people a serious syndrome.

Anyways that is not what I want to talk about here but I want to talk about some strange natures that I have observed in people around me.The first thing that comes to mind regarding this is hypocrisy.I have seen quite a few hypocrites in life.People who claim to have a very strong principle in life but end up being a total fake.College politics is an ideal place to look for hypocrites.They will come to you with inspiring speeches on how strongly they believe youths are the real strength of India and the subsequent need to develop the sense of selflessness amongst them.At the end of day you find out they are just bunch of worthless people who care the least about anything that is not of their benefit.They want some cheap popularity which they have craved for their entire life.Sometimes in life when you are at the crossroads and you choose a path which easy but might not be the right one..... its entirely your decision how you leave your life but you will still find persons showering their unwanted advice on how important it is to take the right path inspite of all hardships till you start feeling guilty.But as time progresses you actually realize when placed in the same situation they choose to do the same as you had done and that too accompanied by some flawless(?) excuse.They are the second kind of hypocrites who acquire pleasure by making people feel guilty and dejected about the decisions they take in their life.I do not know if its actually true in life but most of the people around me who claimed to be true romantic persons with a proper understanding of true love turned out to be the biggest hypocrites.Of course they make you feel or at least try to make you feel you understand so little about how beautiful love is etc. etc. but in the course of time you will actually find out you are actually much more knowledgeable person.I have no idea why these kind of persons have such a deep urge to portray themselves as something/someone they can never be.In the entire process they actually end up breaking budding relationships by trying to prove that this is not true love.

However there is another way of looking at this.Sometimes when you are with such a hypocrite it sometimes is of great benefit to you.It can shape your life making you a better person,a more confident person.It can make you someone who knows whom to trust and whom not too.After you face the worst times in your life things can only get better.It has happened with me and I believe it happens with everyone else too.So in a way we have those hypocrites around us who give us some vital lessons of life.
