"A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker."
- The Buddha
I dug this quote up a long time but never got around to doing it because I learned from an earlier Buddha post that its not a good idea to breakdown the words of the Buddha when you're smoking the Buddha.
Despite the fact that I run a blog and suffer from weed induced rants I'm a man of few words in my offline life. Not because I'm shy or unable to articulate my thoughts. It's because over the years I have learned to pick my spots well.
When it comes to being a man, I've learned there's a time for words but there will always be a time for some action. Actions speak louder than words. There's nothing wrong with words or having the gift of gab. Whether you're in the streets doing what you gotta do, in school getting your education, or trying to pull a woman looking like wifey material you're going to be defined the most by what you do and not what you say.
If a person does nothing but talks I can't be around them for too long. If all you do is talk then after a while it sounds like that noise on a television when the cable goes out. After a while muthaf*ckas who talk all the time don't really be saying anything relevant. They do it because they can't or wont do sh*t. The short and easy answer is because their scared. The REAL reason is because their afraid to be outed as frauds. No one who is comfortable in their own skin will never think about being something their not. Sure you might see things about yourself you may not like but there's nothing wrong with changing just as long as you stay true to yourself.
Like I said before, I'm a man with few words. So I leave you with the following:
REAL is never questioned, FAKE will always be questionable.
