If the problem is implementation, throw yourself into new situations and force adaption,
That is one thing..
or psychoanalyze yourself (though effectiveness is limited by your own awareness).
I suppose this is on another layer. (how limited, however?)
You will be able to zoom out of yourself easier after a while and spot more inconsistencies. That you are aware of your own hypocrisy is a good first step.
I sure hope so.
I don't have a lot of experience with handling it yet, but I've taken to writing down every moral judgement and action I do and analyzing them later, in and out of context. Perhaps this will be useful?
Sounds good. So far my judgments are little, but oh so clear.
Hypocracy is a product of limited awareness; because we operate with imperfect tunnel vision, it seems impossible to be completely free from self-contradiction. The real freedom, I think, is in the striving to be more aware of ourselves and others than yesterday, and acting accordingly. Just my two cents, of course.
I suppose. It's true, in ideals, but reality just prove me that staying that way-- avoiding from slipping-- is another hard task itself.
When a person can't find a way to deal with an aspect of their personality that they are ashamed of, being because it seems socially unacceptable or for any other reason, person tends to go the other way and slips into personal hypocrisy.
Interesting. Guilt and shame.
It is unacceptable. Socially, personally; especially personally. Perhaps it's the effort that makes slipping easy; I dunno. It does make perfect sense.
It's like having a paedophile ashamed of their needs being the head of the conservative family values movement.
It is; although how much of it is actual shame/guilt and how much of it is saving their asses...I suppose no one knows but God and themselves.
It's a perfect analogy, though. The direction and the original position and the 'value' in question.... I have to (grudgingly) admit it. Albeit not as far as paedophilia, tho. XD;
I think that being aware of your own hypocrisy is a huge thing, and that you should examine any feeling of shame or guilt that you might harbour in relations to hypocrisy you've noticed in yourself. Should you feel that guilt and shame if you feel them? Who made you feel that way about yourself and do they have the right to do so?
Personally? I should. Maybe not, in a 'we are humans' point of view, but the value itself....the form which I have found myself having, -is- bad. The distance from my espoused, intended value, probably made the badness of it too obvious; too noticeable. The direction is more like reversing, rather than slipping. But it's still not perfect. :|
Who made me feel that way... most likely, myself. Or an ideal of mine, at least. Again, the contrast is very noticeable because of the distance between the ideals and this particular little stubborn thing I have.
I can make rationalizations.. I don't know. I feel like the more I tried to argue, the more I feel like ...exactly what you said, right there. :| Facing me, I will judge myself as 'self-hating', 'internalized categorism (see TvTropes)', 'hiding', and 'having issues'.
Internalized Categorism.
Hmm.
Hypocrisy happens. Be aware is all.
It...is, I guess. But be aware-- and nothing else?
