To be seen or heard

I’d rather be seen than heard some say, and yet others would say I ‘d rather be heard than seen. So what actually is the difference? What one says and does is the stage, and to set aside the difference is very interesting.

If I should say something would I really mean it? It may be more of words over action. When I say something, what really matters is if one can count on it being my word. That someone can believe that what is said is meant and can be trusted. “My word is my bond.” This very statement in the past was a contract that could be counted on. In todays world it appears that words may be merely words and nothing more. That a word is just a word and cannot be always trusted. Interesting though, that since we are using text messages more often, that our words might just need to mean a bit more. In fact, if it is in writing it must be so. Maybe our word just might become our bond again.

If I should do something does it really matter? Actions don’t always count some believe, that it’s just doing nothing more. An action not to be taken seriously, not to be truly intended. Once actions meant more than anything else, that what one does really mattered, and would count as being more than what was said. “Actions speak more than words.” More and more today our actions are not to be taken seriously, though it is interesting considering reality TV that we are viewing what others are doing. It appears that with some shows, we really want to be taken seriously as a potential future star. Maybe our actions are real to be taken as something that does matter a lot.

It may be best served to mean what we say and do. This way when the time comes that it really matters others will believe what we say and do, and trust that we meant it. One never knows who is really watching to bring us to the next level.
