It seems to be a common paradox in society:

  • Everyone wants people to be honest, yet they themselves can be dishonest.
  • Everyone wants others to be kind, but few are willing to take the initiative to be kind themselves.
  • People desire to live in a utopia, but many are reluctant to contribute to its creation.

We often demand virtues from others that we’re not ready to uphold ourselves. Is it logical to ask for honesty, kindness, and a perfect world when we’re not willing to be the change we want to see?
