I attended this event that situated me among some people that I did not think highly of. I cannot help but choose to be a hypocrite because I had to show them a welcoming face. I wrote the word "choose" in bold because I think that I cannot really say that I was forced to be a hypocrite in that event. I could have avoided them or merely ignore them but I did not. That was the choice I made and with that, I betrayed my principle.

I think that is sad.
