I don't think hypocrisy is so fundamentally different as you think. If it interferes with your other goals (e.g. by making you less rational than you need to be) then work on it, but if hypocrisy gives you warm fuzzies (which it seems do for many people) then go ahead, although you shouldn't be surprised if other people judge you (or don't trust you) because of it.
