Hypocrisy: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.
Hypocrite: a person who indulges in hypocrisy.
I am extremely touchy about being accused of being a hypocrite. The reason, I think, stems from failing to live up to the standards I set for myself for so long. My behavior for a long time is what I would consider to be immoral today. Breaking those habits was not easy and I failed a great deal.
I am not sure I was a hypocrite because I believed in the morality I espoused and recognized my failing as being wrong; and I tried to make amends when I fell short. But my actions were not in accord with my beliefs.
I am a better person today than I was then.
