Walk the Talk

Kristyn, yes, "walk the talk."  Plato defines ethics as behaviors that do not injure others or ourselves.  Underscore the word behaviors.  It is the "walk" - Plato says - that counts, not the "talk."  Or as the street-smart advice your professor learned in New York City when he lived there put it, "Watch what I do not what I say."  The divorce between action and words is reaching crisis proportions in our society, where more and more people recognize how fakes, phonies, and frauds mislead us into disaster after disaster.  Whom can we trust?  As the Bible teaches, trust God rather than men.  Yes, this writer agrees.  He agrees because he watches what our so-called leaders "walk" instead of their "talk."  People are hungry in our society for authentic people, real ones, not second-rate actors.  Good job.  Dr. Rux
