Oath of a Hypocrite

I hereby, solemnly swear that,

I will switch off the engine of my car at signals

I will throw garbage only in a bin

I will not waste water during a bath

I will condemn people for not caring enough

I will congratulate people for every considerate act

But,

ONLY IF IT DOES NOT CAUSE ME ANY DISCOMFORT!

Why should I switch off the car when it is so hot?

I might lose some of my precious sweat.

How can I throw garbage in the bin?

The bin is so so far away.

How can I not take a bath under a running shower?

That’s the only way I feel clean.

How can I not condemn people for not caring enough?

After all, I do pretend like I care more than enough.

It’s time to stop pretending, and truly start feeling.
