Are you ever hypocritical?

i try not to be

It's hard to always live up to one's own ethics.

I place a high value on Non-Violent Communication as a means of avoiding and/or resolving conflict.

And yet when I'm emotionally triggered I still over-react and forget to use the methods. By the time the conflict has erupted, the only thing I can do is take time out and come back to the repairs later. Rarely happens with others, but happens frequently with my husband.

I value open-mindedness. Yet recently, I ended a correspondence due to radically different points of view. It became too difficult and too much of a struggle after the same issue had arisen three times in different guises. 
I can't tolerate sexism - and so that value outweighed my value for tolerance. Now I'm questioning myself, trying to work out if I was being fair and realistic or acting out of past trauma.

I'm a vegetarian - but I've been known to sometimes eat something with flesh in it so as not to offend a hostess (mother of a friend) who's gone to a lot of trouble with the cooking.

I value honesty - but, on occasion, I have lied.

Seems to me you're just being human. We're at a disadvantage being imperfect. As hard as we may try. (Romans 7:21) This post was edited by Autumnleaves at September 28, 2021 8:37 PM MDT

I think that all of us, in one way or another, are hypocrites.

I'm sure that I am, but I forget. So it's ok.
