I thought someone would enjoy that sad irony. but yeah if you want to know why I say that is sad, it is this:
it is sad because they think they will be rewarded at the end. But they already have their temporary very short term reward. Though they deserve it, I feel a mixture of pity and anger towards them.
Life is a challenge but hypocrisy is unneeded.
it always makes me wonder, what do people get out of being hypocritical (on a regular and deliberate basis? making mistakes, sure, i can understand, but deliberately and consistently remaining cognitively dissonant? i don't get it. *why* would someone choose that? what are they "getting out of it"? what "reward" are they getting from continuing to persistently and consistently be hypocritical?
The only thing they will get long term is to grovel in the dust for their arrogance and boastful ways.
I used to be like that in my mind to some extent, but out of mostly ignorance, I suffered greatly for it, but I cannot imagine what happens to people who consistently are hypocrites.
