I Guess Actions DO Speak Louder Than Words
Something I learned yesterday: In western culture, we value form over function. For example, we give mental accent by saying "I believe this or that." Yet in eastern cultures, function is critical. You cannot say, "I believe this or that." Only someone else can say that about you, based on their observation of your actions. I could not say, "I believe in charity." Someone else must say, "Ron believes in charity, because he gives to the poor and needy." This is really an eye opener. I need to re-evaluate my "beliefs." Do my mental accents about my beliefs line up with my actions? Can someone tell me what I believe, based on your observations of my actions? Let me know in your comments.

This is something I've been learning a lot about lately actually. The person we think we are is often different from the person that we come off as. our intentions can be good 99% of the time, but if that 1% that we slip up happens to be the 1% of the time that everybody is paying attention, the facade is ruined. The only way to really align yourself with a belief on the inside and outside is to express it fully 100% of the time, and never compromise.
