Hypocrisy is the claim or pretense of holding beliefs, feelings, standards, qualities, opinions or virtues that one does not actually possess.
It is the act of condemning another person, when the critic is guilty of the same thing that is being condemned. Though hypocrisy is frequently invoked as an accusation in debates, a few theorists have studied the utility of hypocrisy, and in some cases have suggested that the conflicts manifested as hypocrisy are a necessary or even beneficial part of human behavior and society.
