Put your money where your mouth is.

This world is a world full of contradictions. People tend not practice what they preach. One minute will be this and the very next second, you see them doing what they said they would never do. What an irony. Do we call these fake or just plain hypocrite? It is because of this hypocrisy that loved ones are taken for granted because loved ones are the people who are suppose to be understanding. Loved ones have to always give in to strangers. It is always ok to hurt the feelings of the person closest to you because one always assumes he or she would understand. It is never ok to hurt a stranger or a distant person's feeling, because the moment you do it, you might lose their friendship. So how do we define this. If it isn't hypocrisy, then what is it? I would categorise all this under an idiom, "jack of all trades, master of none". Although this idiom is more suitable for the commerce field but let's look at it this way. One goes around trying to please everybody. In the end, he's unable to rise to actually be pleasure to any. Thus this causes him to even lose the one he holds dearest. So whose fault is it? The loved one for not being understanding enough (so to say) or the person going around and have always taken others for granted.
