Most of the people will accept that hypocrisy is neither rare nor found only in any particular section of the society. So, it will be unfair if we blame politics and politicians for hypocrisy. Basically, it's in every family and children from childhood are exposed to hypocrisy. Later, some make it a way of living while some may not practice it intentionally.  

Hypocrisy is resorted by persons who are trying to be what they are not in reality. In order to keep up a facade they become hypocritical. If a person is confident he will be far less hypocritical.

We are always busy in exaggeration and try to present ourselves righteous in front of others thus, hypocrisy becomes a part and parcel of our lives. If most of us present our true selves then hypocrisy will be quite less in our society.  

Some people want to be politically correct all the time in all their dealings and this can lead to many tricky situations ...They need to double speak, be hypocritical in their dealings just so that they seem right ! I have a neighbor, who does not want to even admit to things like whether the maid has come since we share the same maid, she feels there may be consequences arising out of it...It is very difficult to deal with such people !

There may be places where even Sun rays fail to penetrate. But Hypocrisy is such a thing, it can enter and penetrate any place. If somebody says that he is not a hypocrite, he is the biggest hypocrite of all.
