Hypocrisy

Definition of HYPOCRISY

1: a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; especially : the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion 

 

We know that every nation and religion has its fair share of hypocrites.  We also know that those that talk the loudest often act the worst.  It is no different here in Kuwait.  The direct clash between the teachings of Islam and the practice of the people is apparent everywhere.  Not everyone who claims to follow the holy teachings actually does so (just like any other religion in the world -- Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and the list can go on).

Normally as we see the hypocrisy we chuckle and move on.  This week, though, things reached a new level of low.  As Heidi was walking to school, a car drove by where two men slowed to yell at her to come over and act as their prostitute (in not so kind words, mind you but due to the nature, actual words will not be repeated).  On the heels of that, Heidi left the gym to find this fine empty bottle of whiskey (?) just chilling right in front of her car.  Let's just say it was a tipping point.  The chuckling was replaced by anger and frustration.  Just like in any other part of the world, we wish for people to be transparent, honest, and real.  Please do not hide behind religion and claim to be holy if your idea of a good time is an educator dressed in a skirt and cardigan carrying a backpack and a to-go coffee cup and a bottle of cheap booze.  And, if y'all are going to live a lie, please -- keep us out of it!

Proof is in the picture.
