Hypocrisy

When I first thought about this GDR I wanted to figure out exactly which route to go. I looked up examples of hypocrisy and found the one I thought was most appropriate. The example of hypocrisy I chose is when people say one thing but do another.

Everyone has or will be an example of hypocrisy in their life time. We all do things in life that we say we won't, don't and do not approve of. In high school I lived a totally different life than I do today. I did a lot of things back then that I would never do today. One of the big things in high school was FCA or Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Although I am a Christian man I did not attend these events in high school. One of the main reasons I did not participate is because of the individuals in it. More than half of the participants and leaders all lived differently than they preached. They would commit to not drinking alcohol and then the very next weekend they would go to a party and drink. There are other examples but I’m sure you get the point by now. I also did not participate in FCA because I did not see it right to participate in this organization and live the life I did. I am not perfect nor will I ever be and I know I have been a hypocrite at some point in my life. These individuals all meant well I feel, but to preach a certain way of life and then live another way is not right in my eyes.
