Hypocrisy...

Hypocrisy is such a bizarre thing. When a father smokes but commands his son not to do so. When an unhappy wife forces her daughter to marry, saying she'll be happy afterwards. When a boy says, "Love you, baby" only because he's afraid to feel lonely. When a girl says, "Only you, darling" but has no intention of nurturing the relationship. When a baby cries and keeps his parents up all night but threatens to cry again if they make the slightest noise. When a dog only looks at you as its master if you have treats in hand ready to throw at it. When a cat only arches along your leg and purrs because it wants to be pampered. When the Earth is habitable and makes life possible only to feed off death as lifeforms perish and return to the soil. Hypocrisy is such a bizarre thing, because it's so intolerably natural.
