naturally we live with a little cognitive dissonance and hyporcrisy in our lives and in our thoughts.

but i can't stand it when there are ppl who live in a dichotomy between their thoughts and acts.

esp i see, the act is evil, but deep inside that person values the so to sae "altruistic", thinks for society and works for greater good. these ppl may go ahead to put ppl down, never volunteer, first to leave where they are usually seen. but behind everyone's back they care for the family, live a simple life, treasure people close to him, and secretly do volunteer work. what for?

similarly i see alot of ppl they do a lot of good deeds but deep inside they are working for themselves. they love to help ppl actively, donate, do "good", stay as holy as possible. however, when out of "general public's" observation, they become 奢侈, childish, selfish, caring about their own interests. what for?

we shld try to live in a way where thoughts and deeds are nicely aligned. at least make an effort. to say, secretly caring with no one knowing is useless; secretly selfish while being openly altruistic is basically living life like Pharisee.
