I thought someone would enjoy that sad irony. but yeah if you want to
know why I say that is sad, it is this:

it is sad because they think they will be rewarded at the end. But they
already have their temporary very short term reward. Though they deserve
it, I feel a mixture of pity and anger towards them.

The only thing they will get long term is to grovel in the dust for
their arrogance and boastful ways.

I used to be like that in my mind to some extent, but out of mostly
ignorance, I suffered greatly for it, but I cannot imagine what happens
to people who consistently are hypocrites.
