You can never really say that a person is completely free of hypocrisy. It's like so many other immoralities, you can never really say that this person or that person(or oneself for that matter) is truly moral.
In this world, it is technically impossible not to harbour some form of immorality, but the way I see it, that shouldn't make immoral behaviour acceptable in everyday life.
It is one of those mindsets that is prevalent in today's society. A convenient excuse, if you may, to just stop being the best you can be. It is true that many arguments exist as to the nature of what is and is not moral but even then there are certain undeniables.
The value of life, respect for others, and most of all, the truth, are all such undeniables. These are universally accepted, but sadly, very rarely followed. Why? The most common reason (and probably the most preposterous one) which I have heard from many is: "Because we are not perfect!"
Being moral has nothing to do with being perfect. Moral development within a person is a continuous process, where (just like everything else in life) many mistakes are made but that is not reason enough to quit being moral altogether.
As Mama always said: 'You should not stop bathing, just because you'll get dirty again the very next day'.
