If I want to live my life as I see fit, free and unmolested, then why is that not hypocrisy if I constantly monitor, judge, and try to change the way someone else lives?That's not hypocrisy, that's "playing God".

Well I guess according to my definition "hypocrisy" means saying one thing and then doing the opposite.
I'm reminded again of a quote I have often cited:
"Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, selfishness is wanting others to live as one wishes to live"
Oscar Wilde

I forget who said that, but I'm pretty sure it was somebody important.
