Actions speak, words whisper

Have you ever heard the saying that actions speak louder than words?

I think that is so true. But, I’ll put it another way,

“Actions speak, words whisper”

I believe that communication is super super important. I also believe that the “language barrier” is no more than a minor obstacle. Studies have shown that facial expressions are recognizable and consistent across a variety of cultures and languages.

So are words really that important?

“A picture is worth a thousand words”

So if a thousand words are worth one picture, shouldn’t an action then, be worth much more than a word or two?

That’s cool. Like it’s cool to say, that an action is more important than words by a lot. But, why does that matter? Why is that so?

I would say, that it’s because actions speak, words whisper.

Think about a whisper for a second, does that take a lot of effort or energy? Typically no.

What about speaking? Does that take a lot of energy? Maybe not, but much more than a whisper.
