What's up with hypocrisy?

Why is everyone a hypocrite? Why is it so easy to be one? All the time, I find myself dong things that would really irritate me if someone did it to me, but I justify it somehow. What is it about humans that makes us do that? And everybody is a hypocrite, don't even try to pretend that we're not. :P

We are human.

Its because we can easily come up with excuses for ourselves, but when other people do it we can't seem to wrap our mind around why.

its always easier for us to pick up on the things that other people are doing wrong. When we do it, we often come up with a legitimate reason, or so we think.

its how we think, I guess.
We're too self righteous.

When you become perfect, you cease to exist. Maybe you need to look at about what your are being hypocritical. Be true to yourself.

I believe everybody has a nasty wicked self righteous selfish side to their character, propably a survival instinct, a result of billions of years of evolution.

It's amazing isn't it?
I think it is half the high moral preaching that no-one can live up to and half just reacting to people annoying you.
