Maybe the end justifies the means (well I think it does), but does the end justify the reason one did the act?
Example: A person is kind, charitable and caring to everyone, but only because he is a cold, calculating, heartless diplomat. Do his actions lose meaning?
Can one believe in the goodness and the rightfulness of ones own hypocrisy?
Can hypocrisy be consistent with ones own values?
Does hypocrisy positively reach out to anyone with long lasting effect?
Can you achieve co-operation through open hypocrisy?
What becomes one view of others when others fail to see ones hypocrisy?
