Hypocrite: A person who pretends to be what he is not; one who pretends to be better than he really is, or pious, virtuous, etc, without really being so.
The tighter I grip things the more control they have over me. I have quite a grip. In fact, I have a GI Joe Kung Fu grip. I can crush rocks with my grip. I can turn coal into diamonds. I can . . . OK, you get the point. And unfortunately, I'm only talking about a mental grip. I can't even open a jar of garlic stuffed green olives without enlisting SuperK's help.
"Help!" I have to yell.
I gave a buck to a street guy this morning on my way to purchase a $3 cup of overpriced specialty coffee. The same cup of coffee at home would have cost me approximately nothing. I don't know why that simple act of generosity - so small that is almost doesn't even qualify as generosity - is so difficult for me to make. And coming on the heels of my harangue about people at my home group being a little careful with their money.
There is nothing like a hypocrite in action.
