I'm usually not one to utter tired cliches and other phrases, however, I feel some need the reminder that actions do actually speak louder than words.
Recently, a woman told me she was looking for friends, but as the days progressed, her actions told another story. So, what's a guy supposed to believe? A few words uttered at the start of a relationship (of any kind) or the actions proceeding those very words? If he attempts to make sense of the two in conjunction with one another, that will be next to impossible. So, which way does he go? She truly meant she only wants to be friends or she want something greater?
If a husband tells his wife that he loves her, yet consistently abuses her, what does that say? Does he really love his wife, just because he said it? No, of course not. Any man whom stoops to the level of abusing his wife in any manner cannot genuinely love his wife. Actions speak louder than words.
If a politician promises to not raise taxes and does so, does this mean he didn't raise taxes? Eh, no. He obviously raised them. Actions speak louder than words.
If a friend tell you he loves you, that you're the greatest and he'd do anything for you only to talk bad about you behind your back, what does that showcase? Once again, actions speak louder than words.
If a boyfriend tells his significant other he'll always be true to her, yet has sex with a friend of her's, then once again, actions speak louder than words.
Language is a beautiful thing. It can truly warm the heart to hear another say they love you. However, if a single action contradicts those words, it can make them all but meaningless, because actions speak louder than words.
