September 2023: Look at actions rather than words
Language is an important communication tool. People are influenced by words. Words move people. People act every day under the influence of words. Your actions may be unknowingly influenced by the words of others.
In some cases, other people's words may cause you to do the wrong thing.
If you have acted in the past that made you wonder, "Why did I do this?", it may have been influenced by someone else's malicious words.
Be careful not to be influenced by the words of others without realizing it.
The important thing is not to be too quick to believe what others say. Look at what other people do before you believe what they say. Observe the person's behavior carefully to determine if the person is trustworthy.
Is there anything unnatural about the person's behavior? Are there any contradictions between your words and actions? Are you only saying things that are convenient for you and are you hiding something?
In particular, pay attention to what the person is not saying or contradicting their actions. Be wary of words that come from people who are acting selfishly and seem to be trying to do it for you.
If you carefully observe someone's behavior, you may gradually find out what the person really means. At the very least, observing behavior can help us make better decisions than just listening to what people say.
To avoid making wrong decisions or actions due to the influence of other people's words, try to pay more attention to their actions than their words.
