Saying and Doing

“Waste no more time arguing about what good men should be. Be one.” That was a quote by the Roman Emperor from 121-180. I think what he meant is if someone is debating what is right, than he should be doing what he says is right. For example, if someone says that fighting is bad and they go punch someone they are being a hypocrite.

The quote makes me think about all of the times I have, or have witnessed people saying one thing and doing another. It happens all of the time but most of the time it isn’t very serious. An example of the quote is, people are always saying that more people should be doing things about poverty and yet probably around half of them aren’t doing what they said the other person should do.

Think of the times you have been hypocrite. What was it and how would you have changed what you had said and done?
