Words vs Action

Before I go into the subject, let me just say that this post isn't directed to anyone SPECIFICALLY - so please, don't take it personally... I just noticed some things in life lately that I want to express myself about. No ONE person prompted this post.

Words are easy to say and write - so many people out there have the ability to tell someone exactly what they want to hear, whether it's true or not, to keep from getting into an altercation - or just to make themselves look better. The sad thing, is that most of us are so gullible - that even knowing this, we let ourselves be taken in. Again, and again, and again. We let words overwhelm us to the point that we ignore what we see. We ignore what is happening and just live on what we want to hear. Why is that? Why do we believe what we're told by certain people - is it because it's a "specific" person that we hold dear, so we refuse to believe the truth? I don't let people sway me with words like I used to - believe me, I was a total sap when it came to certain people. Letting them TREAT me like shit, and tell me they were doing otherwise. I believed them. But, I don't do that anymore - my struggles in life being on account on what people have said, rather than what they've done... I can't afford to let people do that anymore. I put my faith in people that SHOW me how they feel. The words "I love you" are nice to hear, don't get me wrong - however, I would rather you show it to me - as I show it to others. By being there when they need me - by helping out however I can. Oh, I'm not a saint - and I'm not perfect, far from it... but I do know that actions speak VOLUMES over words. I don't just SAY "I love you" - I like to show it. It's nice. Everyone should do that. See how it changes things.
