What is hypocrisy?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Hypocrisy is the chasm between your public facade and your true self; only by embracing authenticity can you bridge that divide."
According to Osho, hypocrisy is the split between your public mask and your private reality—the borrowed morality that forces you to pretend. Whenever ideals are imposed, you repress what is, and a pseudo-personality appears. Hypocrisy thrives on fear, respectability, and ego; authenticity ends it. Be aware, drop comparison, and allow your natural being to express itself.
It’s when you wear a good-looking mask to please others while hiding what you truly feel and do.
