Everyone loves a hypocrite.

Truth be told, everyone is a hypocrite.


 



So when are we contradicting our own beliefs?

A controversial argument may be founded in the widely held familial/religious/cultural principle that a person should love their neighbor as themselves. However, when their neighbor abuses moral obligations by murdering, stealing or raping that person’s own homeland, as evidenced in recent national border investigative cases, should those moral obligations be precluded? Similarly, as the government mandates abortion for the personal rights of the adult citizen in certain states, should a professional be required to abide by those laws that are in direct violation of his or her personal spiritual/religious moral principles of human life at conception?
