Actions Speak Louder Than Words
One of the sad things about life is that people often don’t live by the values they talk about. There’s a big gap between what we say and what we actually do. Many of us are divided inside—we believe in good things, but we don’t always act in good ways.
We proudly talk about fairness, honesty, peace, and justice. But in real life, we often do the opposite. We say we believe in democracy, but sometimes we act in unfair or controlling ways. We speak about wanting peace, yet we prepare for war. We ask for justice, but still do things that are unjust.
This difference between what we should do and what we actually do is a painful struggle that many people face throughout their lives.
