Column Explores What Hypocrisy Is: Looking at Inconsistency Between Appearance and Reality Through Jung and Sartre's Philosophy

The column explores what hypocrisy is, arguing that its core lies in the inconsistency between appearance and reality, not merely lying, but a psychological mechanism and social phenomenon of concealment, division and self-deception. The article cites psychologist Jung's persona theory and philosopher Sartre's views on the "true self", holding that all physical and mental illnesses also begin with inconsistency between appearance and reality, and suggests learning to be consistent between appearance and reality through daily awareness practice.
