The word hypocrite is rooted in the Greek word hypokrites, which means “stage actor, pretender, dissembler.”So think of a hypocrite as a person who pretends to be a certain way, but really acts and believes the total opposite.

The ancient Greeks knew them for what they were.
So do we.

Unfortunately, the young don’t as they are being “educated”
by these very same people.
