I guess it's almost time, Everything is starting to irk

I really believe there are only a couple key things that rub me the wrong way... to the point that leads me to write about it, rant about it...

Today I'm only going to rant about one of those things...

Hypocrites.

It makes me cringe whenever somebody uses that word. I've noticed throughout my short lived life, that people who use that word are the biggest hypocrites themselves. (I know i've totally contradicted myself, but if that was your initial thought, I also have a bone to pick with you, but that's another story)

Now it's not that you CAN'T use that word in front of me, go ahead, the word itself doesn't bother me at all. It bothers me when you mean it, actually... to be more specific... when you use it with another intention rather than trying to help a person become a better person.

For example, I believe, some people are incapable of seeing their own flaws if it isn't pointed out to them (for who knows what complexes they have). Maybe they really are a hypocrite, they live a life of a... an American Patriot! However, they are actually a Neo-Nazi leader. Something like that. Even though I am not one to point out your flaws (for my own cowardice sake), but it really makes me hold my tongue when that word is being tossed around.

Do they even know the meaning of hypocrisy? I'm going to take it back, way back to the translation in the Old Testament. Hypocrisy means being "godless" and "profane" (thank you wikipedia). I knew in the back of my mind that being a hypocrite couldn't just possibly mean "not practicing what you preach". BECAUSE, we are all guilty of that in some way, shape, or form. So in order for Jesus to get so angry at people being a "hypocrite", it really makes no sense that a hypocrite "simply" doesn't practice what he preaches. Because then, Jesus would hate all of us.

AND that is why I would never call a person a hypocrite UNLESS it is in a religious term. I also loathe fact that this word is used out of context, and used to bring people down and be defaced.

A hypocrite, according to the French, are those who hide their true intentions and personalities. And I feel that is correct, those who use the word "hypocrite" to deface others are in turn, the biggest hypocrite of them all.

(note: i wasn't called a hypocrite, that isn't why I'm frustrated)
