I dislike narrow-minded hypocrisy too.

The advice I'd give would be to apply consistent standards for your actions and not be a hypocrite. Try to treat people the way you would like to be treated, listening to what their values are (and thinking about things thoroughly) in order to apply this method properly.

Example:
If you like to eat seafood, you might like to serve everyone that food, with no other choices. You'd literally be treating people the way you'd want to be treated, but in a narrow-minded way, warping the wisdom from it's true meaning. Look at the bigger picture and realize that people have their own perspectives and values. Some people don't like seafood, and even worse, others are allergic. Hopefully it's clear that force-feeding personal values to others is certainly not wise. What would truly be treating others the way you want to be treated is to allow them to eat what they like... as in giving them a choice.

You don't want to be the victim of violence? Never start a fight, but always defend yourself if others attack you. You want people to tell you the truth? Then don't lie. (etc...)

Removal of all the double standards within the world would make things a lot better (IMO).

Edit:
To be clear, these comments by me are not directed at any individual. The "you" I was advising is not a specific person... I was just presenting my opinions on hypocrisy in a general way, to any arbitrary "you" (eg. a back-stabber) that may see some value in the concept.
