Hypocrisy

[I wrote this yesterday, 8th July 2010, 2.00pm]

Situation 1: Some people in the class were talking bad about A. Then not even an hour later, you saw them saying "hi" to A with a friendly smile.

Situation 2: C and D were gossiping about A. You went online that same day and logged in to Facebook . Then, you saw C commenting on A's status with a very friendly manner as if C likes A.


I bet these two situations are very common in our lives. I've encountered such things almost everyday. It's weird how people can act as if they didn't say anything bad (behind) the same person they passed by and said "hi" to. It's scary if you think too much about it. However, I find that hypocrisy is a fun thing sometimes. Consider this situation:

Situation 3: A class of 30+students were inside the computer lab (without a teacher). As you know, it's an enclosed room with air-conds so no matter how loud you talk, people outside won't hear you (I guess so). Back to the situation. One of the students, (let me call him G *bukan nama sebenar) was asking the whole class about their opinion regarding the planned class t-shirt. Everyone (not really) was on top of their voices arguing on the colour. Some were 'skiing' on the slippery tiled-floor (which is so fun to do).
Suddenly, the saw a shadow on the windows. G quickly said "Okay, case closed!" although the discussion wasn't even over yet! Everybody returned to their respective seats. One or two persons held their books (as if they were diligently reading). In a blink of an eye, the class turned silent. The teacher came in. They stood up, saying "Good morning, teacher!" with a mischievous smile on their faces.

Now you see, hypocrisy really is fun in certain situations.
We pretty much practise hypocrisy, don't we?? XD
