Re: Hypocrisy in desi society
I believe that human nature is hypocritical. We’re all hypocrites to some extent…may be deliberate or unintentional…some more so than others. For example, you may advise someone to be patient or not to procrastinate…but then you end up doing the exact opposite of your own advice…it may not even be deliberate…you may not even be thinking about how you’re acting.
Apart from human nature…I think that the other reason would be that if a person is so fearful about their izzat…then they may even try to put up a positive front. That can also account for the difference between words and deeds.
