Hypocrite

Dictionary.com explains the word hypocrite this way. Am I a hypocrite do I pretend something that I don't have? Yes maybe! It is hard to be truthful to everyone and everywhere. Well! may be it is easy but for me it is not. I would have ask a different question, why do I need to be truthful to everyone? Why can't pretend a virtue that I don't have? Human is basically a animal, if I hit someone he or she will hit me back, does it mean he or she does not have the virtue of not hitting a human being and therefore he or she should hit everyone!

Probably I got it all wrong; hitting back has nothing to do with hypocrisy. Well what is hypocrisy then? Hypocrisy is the name of pretending something that one doesn't possess. So where is the limit?
