They say one thing yet do another; they make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franksonnenbergonline.com\/blog\/when-rules-outweigh-common-sense\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rules<\/a> but don\u2019t follow them; and they live one way in public yet another in private. They\u2019re so dishonest, they could be called professional liars. In fact, many hypocrites even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franksonnenbergonline.com\/blog\/the-only-thing-worse-than-lying-to-others-is-lying-to-yourself\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lie to themselves<\/a>.
