There is a conscious decision made by a person whether to do right or wrong. I wonder though, how often decisions are made when consideration is given to cause and effect. There is relative ease to see the short-term impact, but what about long-term? What are the emotional effects? What is the message being conveyed by taking action? Or not taking action as the case may be?
A friend shared with me these thoughts and I relay them to you.
Your actions are the truest indicator of who you are as a person. Words are just words. The greateast orator can speak volumes. It is the action which defines.
