Action Still Speaks.

There are so many life lessons and I've heard quite a lot and seen quite a lot. There is a  popular saying: "Actions speak louder than words." It is not farther from the truth. In fact, it's the truth. Some people won't tell you how they feel about you but they will show you, pay attention. Have you ever heard people say "Silence is golden when you can't think of an answer?" Or "Silence speaks louder than any word could?". Silence is an action. Silence can be so quiet yet so loud.

Many people get swayed by words and they don't watch out for other people's actions. We are all different. We have those who are extra sensitive and those who are not that extra. Some people are sensitive and because they are sensitive, they weigh words more than others. The way you will receive some words won't be the way others would receive the same. So, don't get too worried when you use certain words for others and some find it offensive. We are all different with different levels of exposure too.

Some people are observant. They observe and watch your every action just to see if they match up with their words. I am mostly like that. I value words which makes me watch out for your actions too. Those who are careless are not bothered and they act anyhow without minding whose ox is gored.

Most people won't tell you how they feel about you but watch how they act around you and even when you are not there, listen to what they say about you. How they act is what they truly feel about you. Ignore the eye service, anyone can do that. It's easier to get deceived and deceive others these days. Forget what they say when you are close and watch out for the things they can't say through their actions.

This helps you to know those who are in your corner and those who are not. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer they say. When you know those two-faced people, it's not so much about picking a fight with them but knowing who they are so you can be more careful around them. It helps you to know those you need to go the extra mile for and those you need to keep at a distance. You don't have to hate anyone to keep them where they belong. Watch it before the hate in your heart consume you too because it can be a free fall...a slippery slope sometimes.

I am a sensitive person. I observe even if you don't see me say much but when I finally say that much, you would be surprised at how much I have gathered over time. In my brain...I solve human and life puzzles and put those pieces together in my mind.

I just decided to share this because I have seen a lot of people waste their energies unnecessarily on the wrong set of people and spend their whole lives hating while taking for granted those who have been there for them all a lot. You can't carry people like a bag of rice while they hold you like a pinch of salt. Go to where you are celebrated and not where you are tolerated, a wise man once told me this many years ago and it stayed with me.

"Most people won't tell you how you feel, but they will show you. Watch it closely. God is the only One you should ever depend on and He will work all things out for you." - Olawalium.

I found this old poem that I wrote a few years back and it's still relevant in our world today.

Hurting World.

The world is hurting, yes we all know
So many kids on the streets are hurting
It is crystal clear to the naked eyes
Our government across levels are there
Yet, with no solution in sight
Everyone fending for themselves
Each man to his own tent – survival instinct
When are we going to do something more distinct?
The problems are obvious but what are we doing?
In a world where we are good at analysing problems
Than providing any real solution to things
In a world where the talk is always more
And we keep pushing the actions to the side
In a world where most people avoid responsibility
And finger pointing is the mainstay of our ability
What do you have to offer in all of these?
What are you doing to make things better?
Never leave a life or place
The same way you met it without a trace
Always seek to occupy your given space
Talk is easier for most people than actions
Focusing on their beauty and attractions
While ignoring they are a leader and a difference maker
Our inactions are sometimes obvious
Because we don’t understand our own identity as well
We are even our own problems
Until we understand our identities and act

Thank you for your time.
