I, for one, am proud to be a hypocrite. I say I'm a hypocrite, and dammit, I stand by that statement. Never once have I wavered in my hypocrisy. Some so-called hypocrites are all talk and no action. Not me. I walk the walk AND talk the talk. Anyone who doesn't isn't a truly a hypocrite if you ask me.

Hypocritically hypercritical hypocrites...

Well... if I wasn't such a hypocrite myself I'd say you were being somewhat hypocritical with your statements, because how can someone walk and talk like a hypocrite while striving for the ultimate in hypocrisy itself? It's a sad case of going so far in your hypocritical endeavors, that the ultimate outcome is all honesty, integrity, and truth! I'm sorry, but I think your being a hypocritical hypocrite yourself, and although you may wish to be more of a hypocrite, you just end up being the same as all of the good and wholesome people that you're trying to rise above.
Take me for instance. I believe in hypocrisy, but secretly I don't have a hypocritical bone in my body - or so I think, because deep down inside I really know that I'm just an average hypocrite myself, who pretends to be something they are not - and then again on some fundamental level I am instinctively aware of the fact that if I imagine I am someone long enough, and with enough effort and focus on behaving like that person, then eventually I will become that very person that I wanted to be, but never really was at the time, due to an innate hypocrisy rooted within my (and indeed any) subconscious sentient mind when dealing with concepts such as your own self image in other peoples eyes - or at least within rigidly "moralistic" societies such as the "western" version of the one we live in today. So in this way I am not a hypocrite at all, even though I was fooling myself into believing I wasn't a hypocrite by being a hypocrite and at the same time pretending that I was a hypocrite, displaying an image of hypocrisy outwardly, while harboring a secret self hate of hypocrisy within, regardless of the "true" levels of actual hypocrisy in my character as set out by the "common" standard of all general societies version of hypocrisy around me.
I wonder if Hippocrates himself would have operated such illusions out of our brain's if he could have? Or would that be against the Hippocratic Oath itself, (which although he did not write, he certainly had a hand in the inspiration of it's becoming). Is then the concept of this Oath itself slightly hypocritical for implying one should behave as an angelic entity would, even though we are clearly still Earth-bound creatures doomed to such emotions as fear, Love, and hope? Is the labeling of something as "hypocritical" a hypocritical action on its own for seeming to deny some vital function in an evolving mind - the practice of striving to become someone that your not by pretending that you are such a person while not yet being evolved spiritually enough to actually be that person through and through - proclaiming it as unethical, and thus "wrong"? ...Seems hypocritical to me.
Do I really care at all to think about such things as this, or am I merely a hypocrite and a fool who plays with the cognitions of his mind like a monkey would with his dick? Such questions as these have a great tendency towards feeding the hypocritically hypercritical hypocrites in us all...
