The hypocrisy of it all

Jump to Comments

Dear Self,

Wasn’t it just 2 weeks ago that you lamented how sadistic the entertainment scene was becoming? In that post, you commented on the manner which the hosts lampooned local celebrities and condemned their action (posted on july 3, 2008).

But you just did that yourself didn’t you? – In the previous post lies a thinly veiled attack on your instructor; poor guy.

And why melisa? Just because you didn’t understand him?? That’s no excuse.  
If you fail to understand someone, that’s your fault. No one else’s. Don’t place the blame on another for your inadequacies.

You overlook his patience and painstaken efforts to explain the technicalities every step of the way. You forget his willingness to risk his life sitting in that hefty chunk of metal that you’re learning to move. You think that just because you’re paying a lot of money, it means that he ought to be nice and do things your way. You forget that the fella has to sit through many sessions a day, going through the same old motions and meeting arrogant people like you who think they know best; but having to remain polite for they are customers.

Sometimes, i wonder why it takes you so long to realise your mistakes…today it took almost 8 hours.
I wonder why you can’t be more forgiving, i wonder when you’d become a better person. I wonder when you’d grow up!

Granted that you were pissed after the lesson, you took it out on the wrong person my dear.
The person at fault today is you. The guy was just doing his job. Would you be able to face him if you knew he read the previous post? You’re no better than those hosts from the show.

Alas child! You’ve a very long way to go.

Matthew 7:4-5 (NIV)
“How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
