Are We Not
The argument started, both parties saying their views;
both raising voices trying to put afterthought logic.
No chance to end soon though tension mounted;
Then one of them says, don’t interrupt,” as if she never interrupts;
The other says, “don’t be judgmental,” as if she is never judgmental,
Exchange of moral principles continues;
Both pretend to have one standard, when the other one has nothing;
Issue is when one is more positive about one thing then
obviously, less positive she is about its opposite.
If one is kind to one person, then she is unkind to others;
One can’t be kind to everyone.
Is it not surprising when one speaks something
but, doing just the opposite and expecting others to follow
scrupulously and continuously judge others critically.
We fail to judge ourselves though never we stop to judge others.
Are we not all hypocrites in some sense?
