Do you ever get annoyed at people who make fun of someone for something that they themselves do? Do you realize that it seems to be human nature that makes everyone do it?
Examples:
Making fun of someone who is overweight and eating a Twinkie, but the person making fun is someone who should put their ring dings down.
Criticizing someone for working too much and not taking a break, but then work 10 hours in a row without lunch.
Complaining about how this other person constantly complains about their misfortunes, but then follows it up with their own stories about a crappy life/situation/job.
Correcting people when they make a grammatical error in their speech, yet can't spell.
And my personal favorite - writing a blog about people making fun of others for doing something and yet the writer is just as guilty as those she is making fun of....
When does the pot truly call the kettle black? And why is it always black?
Did you follow all that??? Because I sure as hell didn't....
Cognitive dissonance is fascinating. I think you did a fine job on this post. Hope to see you soon!
