Speaking is second nature. Since we were born we have been trained to speak, with proper pronunciation and clarity. We have been trained to speak words, with no meaning unless the sentences and phrases we use are properly constructed or common; and even still they can be manipulated, mis-interpreted or mis-used.
Words.... What do they mean to you?
It's funny how the simple phrase, "I love you," holds so many emotions. When used by a parent, the child feels loved; apart of a family; when used by a significant other, one feels secure, reassured that the love felt is not one-sided. Either way, no matter what emotions they evoke, they are still no more than words. These words are not definite unless followed (if not instantly, sometime in the near future) with actions; socially acceptable acts that express their meaning. Are you going to believe someone loves you, no matter how many times that repeat themselves, if they cheat on you, abuse you (that one may be sensitive), rob you, harm any immediate family or friends? Hell no, I think not. And there is no one who could make believe that they would trust someone despite their acts because of the words they spoke!!! Yet so often, despite what we, Americans, are shown; we believe everything because it was spoken. The greatest example should be to those who supported President Bush's office and now are witnessing he did not stick by his words. And his actions have sent republicans voting democratic for the upcoming election!!
Words....
Just a little food for thought....Watch what you say and let your actions depict what you mean!
