Simple and to the point, everyone should know and follow this. One of the best pieces of advice from the Dalai Lama
"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them."
If someone says X, but does Y, this doesn't mean they are not right about X.
Other example, if someone is raising public awareness about littering in nature and is then caught throwing a plastic bottle into a forest, does that mean they are wrong?
Sure, it's shitty, but that doesn't make them wrong in saying that people shouldn't do it, even if they are not living up to their own words.
You do you. :)
I prefer the words of the Dalton Lama: "Be nice. Until it's time ... to not be nice."
