Lets get it out of the way right now. First things first I am a hypocrite. At times, I do do things that violate my beliefs. Just having beliefs even strong beliefs gives me plenty of opportunity to be one, a hypocrite.. in fact it is quite natural for me.
Shoot, most people would say its a good thing to be perfect.. Not that they can be just that it would be good. There is no way I will live up to the standards that I believe to be good and true and righteous 100% of the time. So I am taking the pressure off. I believe you should do everything right all the time. But I don't. I am a Hypocrite. There that felt better. I have good reason for this.
You see my mind and my body tend to disagree alot.
My mind makes more sense but my body is much stronger at times. But my mind sees the end of the trail that my body can't see. A big cliff. Invitations to go place my body wants so badly too see, mind says run (but can it be really that bad) No one knows, oh except the people already there (and they can't throw any stones) My body says click it. My mind asks me "are you stupid, you know where that goes") don't do it. Yet my body is telling my mind it needs to relax you'll enjoy it too. It's not a fair fight.
So I am here to give my mind a workout...on the front lines. :) The bellman here at Lost Cherry not only asked for the keys to my soul at the door he asked if I wouldn't mind checking in my mind as well as LC wasn't really real any way (cyberspace you know).
I have some very strong opinions on most things. The views I had in the past used to be the complete opposite of the views I have now.
With a regard to my views I know why I believe what I believe. My opinions have been born of much wrestling with my heart and mind... tempered w/ stimulating debate with others......... refined by wisdom gleaned from those who have gone before me....... and most importantly made humble by experience.
I am not a philosopher, I am just a regular guy with regular life issues.
I have kids issues, relationship issues, financial issues, business issues, family issues. I 'm probably the only one who has these problems.
I know that we are all unique and have the same inherent value However, we get to choose what we believe, whether it aligns with what is true or not................... We are hypocrites either way.
I don't believe I'm a hypocrit I know Im a hypocrite.
Aren't we all just a bunch of hypocrits, to different degrees maybe, but hypocrits nonetheless. Just one big happy family. Well, just one big family, some happy, some not.
