I don't know about you but, since I'm a bit of an observer, I'm a believer that actions speak louder than words. If there is some inconsistency between what a person says and what they do, I'm inclined to view their actions as truth, taking away the validity of their words. After all, don't they say that you should always "practice what you preach"?
There was this quote that came in on my QOTD (http://www.quotationspage.com/data/qotd.rss) feed that I never really got until I woke up this morning (Did I ever tell you that my best ideas come to me in the morning, once I wake up? Well, they do). The quote summarised everything I was thinking about last night:
Actions lie louder than words... because I think my actions have been inconsistent with the way I feel and what I say. This also reminded me of something that was told to me a while ago - that things aren't always what they seem...
Which then brought me to the question: Why would people not act on what they feel, or what they've said?
... and that brought me back to the fact that sometimes the mind needs to force us to do things that go against what the heart feels - or what it tells us to say. Otherwise...
Oh dear. I need to get out. Bye!
