Hypocrisy is the practice of feigning what one is not or professing what one does not believe. The word "hypocrisy" entered the English language c. 1200 with the meaning "the sin of pretending to virtue or goodness". Today, "hypocrisy" often refers to advocating behaviors that one does not practice. However, the term can also refer to other forms of pretense, such as engaging in pious or moral behaviors out of a desire for praise rather than out of genuinely pious or moral motivations.
Hypocrisy is the practice of pretending to be something you're not or claiming to believe things you don't actually believe, such as advocating for behaviors you don't follow yourself. It matters because it involves a fundamental dishonesty—whether someone is feigning virtue for appearance's sake or engaging in moral behavior primarily to gain praise rather than from genuine conviction.

偽善是滿口仁義道德、道貌岸然，但私底下却是另一副模样的人。糾舉他人行為，而己身同作為而噤聲之人。對惡者行善，博得美名；但对真正需要帮助的人可能会不管不顾。导致現實惡化之人。
