What Is More Important: Your Actions Or Your Character?

What is More Important: Your Actions or Your Character? In this paper I will argue that neither your actions or character are more important than one another, however, they go hand in hand. I will argue that your actions reflect your character and vice versa. The obvious place to start would be in our everyday life. There are over 7 billion people on this planet and everyone is different in their own way, especially their character and how they do things. Everyone knows someone who has an amazing personality and someone who doesn’t. Take, for example, one of my closest friends. She has and amazing character! She is quite possibly one of the nicest person I have known, and in saying that, her personality/character is reflected by her everyday
(I don’t mean to bring politics into this paper, however, it’s good for this example. IF YOU WISH TO SKIP THIS PART LOOK FOR THE *) Take for example our president.

Another example would be a person thinking of themselves a frugal, however, looking at their credit card statement would reveal the truth. Almost everyone could be described as a hypocrite, to some extent, because very few of us are self-aware of what our own flaws and faults
