When someone advocates something yet does not follow what they advocate, what is going through their mind?
For example, a religious person who preaches morals and Jesus talk and all that, but then goes out and has premarital sex, and drinks, and breaks all the commandments and laws that they supposedly stand for. Then this same person has the audacity to condemn other people to "hell" for their "sins". What is going through their mind at that moment? Do they not realize that they are hypocrites and that they are the ones who are guilty? I don't get how people can be like that.
Yes, I gave a religious example. It's just an expample.No, I am not religious. Don't ask me "Why do you care then?" Just because I am not religious does not mean that I am not affected by them and their manipulative hypocritical ways. So if you're going to attack me, maybe you shoud first ask yourself, "What would 'Jesus' do?"
I just want to know about hypocrisy and the psychological aspects of it.
