Walk your Talk

I hate when people in authority say something and their actions say another. What you say and what you do have to be the same otherwise people will look at the two conflicting and the respect they have for you will go out the window.

Like my teacher, she told us to recycle our batteries and that we should take care of the earth. Then she threw the classroom's batteries in the trash. After that, any time a teacher has told me I should do something for the sake of the environment around me or something I don't listen. A lot of the authority around me, not just in school, have been inconsistent with putting their words into action. I think that is where my dislike of authority would come from.

But I don't want to do that. Not for my sake but for what I want to happen in the world. If my influence has a bad effect on someone it would be counter productive to my mission in life. I want to clear up the confusion the media and our society put in our heads, not add to it. This past year I have tried to work through a lot of lies I believed in my life. I don't want to be the cause of that or someone else.
