Which is harder to do in life: Not lying OR not being a hypocrite?

Answer 1

I like that question. I would say it's harder not to be a hypocrite because when you're being a hypocrite you're not as aware that your lying as when you deliberately lie. Also i think being judge mental is the same as being a hypocrite and that seems to be more prevalent in everyone i know than being a lire.

Answer 2

There is no decision here, as an honest human being, you should not have to try to not be either! You choose to lie, and you choose to be a hypocrite. People either respect you for telling the truth all the time, or they don't. I have no time for anyone who lies or is a hypocrite.

Answer 3

Not lying is the most difficult thing in our life. That is why we are still lying although all the Messengers of the One True God forbid it.
In order to avoid lying, we must learn and practice the divine lesson of selfless love. When we realize that all human beings are equally the dearly loved chidren of the One True God, we will love and respect each other unconditionally. We are ready to give our lives for our brothers and sisters, then what is the use of lying? Usually, we lie to our so-called enemies to cheat them, to harm them, to chase them away from our eyes...
So, that is the hardest and the most essential lesson taught in the Holy Books for all human beings who have the rational sense to make wise choices.

Answer 4

Definitely not being a hypocrite is the hardest to be in life. The world loves lies, and hypocrisy, telling like it is only makes you unpopular, antisocial, weird, and the enemy. Lies are for the followers, mediocres, self-centered individuals and for those who prefer to live in la-la-land rather than the real world.

Answer 5

Isn't that a question which would cancel itself out? If you lie - you're a hypocrite, and if you're a hypocrite you've lied about something. Right!
