Why wouldn't he. His wife had the insurance and quit her job so they must have insurance or be fined...its a law now. I am sure you have heard?

You really don't get it. He wants to deny it for other people, but he thinks it's good for him. THAT is the definition of hypocricy.

Yep!!!

Reality hurts.

Yes. I already did in my #61. I haven't seen anybody else though admit it

Well I did in a way. I'm not silly enough to deny it anyway.

I don't think ONE person referenced on this thread has LOW self esteem...

it's the opposite.

A couple of year ago, I listened to a radio interview with an author who wrote about hypocrisy.

He said *everyone* is guilty of hypocrisy to some degree. It's part of human nature.

I agree.

I wonder how many realize that, and are willing to admit it.

Those who don't admit it have a false sense of self. I don't believe they possess a high self esteem; quite the contrary.

Yes, several of us have admitted to it, baker. Sometimes we see the problem and it is us.{#emotions_dlg.blush}

Yes, you did and thank you! I'm not referring to you. Wink

I believe all humans, at one time or another, will behave hypocritically.

Exactly and anyone who denies it is well...being a hypocrite.

Haha. Exactly my thoughts! "The repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy"

I think we all have the potential to be hypocritical for as many different reasons as there are individuals. It's a part of being human.

What about celebrities who claim to want to protect the environment and conserve energy, yet they fly private planes, use excessive electricity to light their homes... Or they are anti-guns yet they make millions playing gun toting villains in movies.
