We all have values, even the devil. I like to believe most of us hold honorable good values up to a high level of importance. But I can't control what I want you to value. I'm me. You're you. We're individuals. But we both portray and reflect our values by words and deeds.
What we say and what we do are extensions of what we think, believe and are motivated by. Even though actions speak louder than words, both are equally powerful. The bible says our words can kill.
We must be careful how we live out our lives. It is so easy to let down the guard along with the honorable codes of conduct. When that happens, we devalue those values that we claim to be so important.
