"Do As I Say, Not As I Do"

A1000MILES

Is this saying total hypocrisy?...Or...Is it justified to want to guide someone in a different direction than yours?

Like, today...Took my mom's car out...She always gets on me bout leavin my wallet in my car, thinkin somebody round here gon bust my shit...First thing she tells me before I leave..."Bring me my purse out the glove compartment!"...I'm like...But you...Tell me...

Kushington

Move out nigga

pralims

maybe its a habit shes trying to break but its hard for her because shes set in her ways....and she doesnt want you to follow suit and make it a habit of yours.

sometimes you youngins need to understand the the older person has been somewhere an knows how tough it can be an dont want the same for you.

A1000MILES

@Kushington Been there, done that...Bout to leave again.

INB4 this becomes a slobb2deep thread.

A1000MILES

@Pralims So...You lean towards the second opinion...Cool...I'm in between on the subject...But I know I can't blindly tell kids not to do some shit they see me doin without a real reason...

Gold_Certificate

Her purse was in the glove compartment though.

Niggas can't see that.

Stopitfive

u should definitely ignore good advice because the messenger doesn't follow it...

My mother installed this saying in me...

now that I'm a father, I appreciate it and use it on my son regularly...

CoolJoe

I don't get the logic in the saying.

unspoken_respect

I would say something something slick and get one of these.

A1000MILES

My wallet be in the glove too...And ain't nan nigga round here(my neighborhood) finna bust my shit in...Not cause I'm that bad...But just cause I know who all the usual suspects would be...And they know me...

nex gin

I'm not following ma'dukes logic on this one if your wallet is in the glove & out of sight.

i was always lthe kid who took heed to his elders..
even the ones i didnt respect.. u can learn alot from a fool.. even if its only what NOT to do..

the only people who have a problem wit the sayin are the trial by fire types.. im not one of them..

AZTG

it ain't hypocritical. I mighta been caught by the game and do some shit out of addictions or habits that I wouldn't want my kids to do. Listening to your elders is important though. wish I listened to what pops used to tell me. woulda been in a different place now.

HAF BAYKED

i was told that all the time, cant really say it worked......but i'll prolly be that way with my daughter....*shrugs*

i rather an elder try to lead by example as well as using the saying.

it's just like someone smoking cigarettes, whenever they talk to a non-smoker they always say.

"that's good, don't smoke it's bad for you" - Smoker. The reason is evident that "smoking cigarettes"

does way to much harm, but at the same time the smoker is pulling on the cigarette and excusing the

fact that it's fucking his life up, even if it's sub-conscious, they're not trying to do anything about it on

the conscious level. There's a lot to be thought from a fool, but if the tables are turned and you're the

fool, why be one?

A wise man learns from the mistakes of not only himself, but of others. Whether or not the person you learned it from is a hypocrite is irrelevant to you.

MorganFreemanKing

Problem is sometimes words are just words so it's hard to take someone's advice as gospel and sometimes we need those bumps and bruises. Someone who learns everything through heresay never really learns anything at all.

A hypocrite is someone who says and doesn't do so... Hypocrite. No offense to your mother.

damobb2deep

my Grandad told me dat as a kid when it came 2 smoking squares... still dont 2 dis day..

atribecalledgabi

i can understand not takin somebody's advice when you know it's bullshit...like somebody who has never had a successful relationship in the history of everdom wants to tell you how to be in a relationship. no nigga. stfu.

BUT if it's advice that obviously makes some type of sense you're a dumbass to not follow it.

Doctopian

Your two questions aren't mutually exclusive. Just because a person is a hypocrite doesn't mean that they don't genuinely wish to see you take a better path than they did.
