Actions always speak louder than words. Not many people are able to fathom that, but it's true. People judge others by their actions. Words can be the icing on the cake and can be fake, but the actions are what's real. It's walking the walk after talking the talk. No matter what you do, someone is always watching. I hear the quote "your true character is who you are when no one is watching" so much that it's been ingrained in my head. It's so true though. Many people can be two-faced, but those that are consistent with the world are the best to be around and have the best character. Silence is golden but yet so fragile. People think that in order to really know someone you need to have a lot of conversation...I don't think this is the case. People can say a lot of things. Sticks and stones can break your bones, and words will always hurt you. Contrary to popular belief, feelings are as big a part of you as your bones are. They're as easily broken with words as bones are with a stone. That is something that we all so easily forget. We are programmed to think "I" - "me" instead of "you" - "them." It's so easy to discount others' feelings and strive to improve your own. Instead of always asking what you can do to help yourself, maybe it'd be a good change for the better to see what you can do to help others. You know what they say.."what goes around comes around."
