Actions speak louder than words.

We've all heard this time and time again. Drilled into us by parents, teachers and mentors.

So then why do so many insist on talking things into the ground when their behavior says so much more.

And with more eloquence.

I saw something Yumie wrote on that once. According to her, most people who talk too much are cowards who are afraid to practice what they preach.

I don't understand her either.

[venus_afflicted]

I don't know. Makes sense to me.

But than I talk a lot and, I may very well be a coward in somethings.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with anyone...specific.

*looks at Liz wide eyed and innocent*

Course not. It's a question. You know, this bored that leads to these questions? Maybe I should try meditation to fill my time.

*nods slowly*

I refrain, because I am mature and wise and also afraid of pissing off Kali, from mentioning who I think you're talking about. But, you know, it's you and I who are wrong...really. Talking constantly about truth and blah blah and then doing something else entirely is something we should all aspire to.

*Stays silent, listening to Liz's every word, even leaning forward. His look one of rapt attentiveness*

I see. This is what I have been missing in my life. This is the nuance I needed. Not to do what I thought right, even if I risked ridicule.

Now I see the error of my ways. Thank you.

Sometimes actions are misunderstood.

[venus_afflicted]

Yes, sometimes they are.

And sometimes they are repeated over and over again. Hard to misunderstand that.

[twitchnosewitch]

Sometimes they're intended with one meaning and viewed with another. That doesn't necessarily make them bad, just misunderstood.

[venus_afflicted]

Over and over again?

You are being rather generous in your thinking if you believe a person can do the same thing time and again and the fault lies with everyone else and not the one acting in a certain way.

*mews* Because not everyone has the strength to back up the words with actions.
