The gap between what we say and what we do is hypocrisy. As human beings, we are prone to inconsistencies such as these, but the correct way to deal with our own hypocrisy is to always keep the gap as close to zero as possible. As every child knows, true beliefs are reflected in actions, not in words, so when we discover that our actions diverge from our declarations, we must listen to the more convincing voice of action.
We must first know the truth, then act on that knowledge without compromise. If we then discover a gap, we must either confess our error of belief or our error of action. This is not perfection, but it is integrity.
The world watches carefully.
