The author initially struggled to title their article, considering options like "Lip Exercise" and "Lip Service." However, they wanted to clarify that their focus was on "Lip Service" in the context of character building and human behavior, rather than the superficial interpretations of the term. They define "Lip Service" as an insincere expression of support or loyalty, essentially equating it to hypocrisy. To illustrate their point, the author shares a humorous fictional story about a man who encounters a crying individual claiming to be hungry. Instead of offering any help, the passerby also begins to cry, despite having bread in hand, highlighting the absurdity of offering emotional support without any real action. This serves to exemplify the concept of paying lip service. The article also critiques politicians and advertisers who engage in lip service, promising much but delivering little once their goals (like votes or sales) are achieved. The author concludes that lip service is prevalent in society, manifesting in various forms, and encourages readers to recognize this behavior in themselves and others.
