You're right, I feel betrayed and let down when people don't live as they say. The only time I have respect for someone who changes their moral standing is when the person is turning away from a flawed moral belief that hurt other people or made things worse, and adopts a new improved standing. I also sympathize with people who break their own word unintentionally and show appropriate levels of regret as well as a willingness to maintain their initial standing. This is just how I handle things, so I'm speaking for myself.

Your article is thought-provoking. Great work!

Thanks for sharing :)
