Hi all, I am going to express my feelings and opinions about human hypocrisy. This will be informal, continued from my last post for those who have not read it. Hypocrisy of man. This can be summarized by a truth: People go along with ideas and things unless it becomes personal, in which to their disadvantage.
Like I said in my last post, MacDonald's claims itself to be a environmental - friendly company, yet it clears few hundred hectares to build chicken farms for chicken nuggets to be produced. Actually, we don't have to look at such big examples. Small, everyday examples will do.
Last month, my uncle's boss told his department: "Times are bad, we need to work even harder for the company, try to save as much money as possible for the company and you will get back your rewards accordingly." However, when he went for a business trip the following week, he took SQ airline first class. During the working hours, the boss has been noticed to take time every now and then for his golf games.
Last week, at my friends barbecue party, I saw a very prominent sign "No littering". A cleaner nearby was sweeping the floor. My kind friend, who saw him perspiring profusely gave him a tissue paper to wipe off his sweat. He instructed us not to litter on the ground during our party, which we listened to. An hour later, after the barbecue party, we saw that the cleaner has left, litter on the ground was not cleared by him and on the pile of rubbish lay that tissue paper...
Yesterday, I saw a sign "No smoking". A police was leaning on that sign, smoking away...
May the force be with you,
Jonah

Hypocrisy is present in everyone. Most of the time unknowingly.This is sad but true.
We are indignant when we see unjust happenings, yet how many times we do unjust things to people around us, including our loved ones.
We scorn at people who do not treat their parents properly , yet how often we disrespect our very own?
King David & Bathsheba case in the bible is an explicit illustration of how we so often judge others on their sin where we too practise them.
Our flesh are weak, our wisdom limited, more often than not we are blinded by our sin, and the world is so evilly tempting...May the Lord help us all.
Hi Jonah, amazing blog! But, I am totally shocked to know that such things do happen. This not only reveals hypocrisy in man, but also a problem with the town council. How can a rubbish cleaner not clear rubbish and even litter? Is there inadequate supervision? And how can a policeman commit a crime? This is drastic irony. This is not just simply a problem.
