Many times in life you will probably hear the quote “actions speak louder than words”. You’ll probably hear it from your parents, your teachers, and maybe even your lover. Your parents will get mad at you one day because you came home at 3:00 A.M. for the 3rd time this week and you promise to never, ever disappoint them again and they’ll say, “Actions speak louder than words! I’ll believe it once I see it”. You’ll tell your teachers that you’re going to start getting better grades and stop being late to class and they’ll tell you “actions speak louder than words…I’ll believe it when I see it” and one day, your girlfriend will get mad at you because you forgot your 2nd month anniversary and you’ll swear to her that you’ll never forget again because you love her so much and she’s important to you and you don’t want to lose her and then she’ll sigh with slight disbelief and sluggishly say “actions speak louder than words…I’ll believe it once I see it”. Point is, no matter what you say, how you say it, or even how much you mean it, other people will never see the true value in your words, until they see you doing things to prove that you really mean what you say. Coming home early to show your parents that you are willing to change just to avoid disappointing them again, will convince them that you do seek change, trust, and forgiveness. Getting good grades and perfect attendance will show your teachers you’re completely dedicated and you’re 100% true to your word about doing better in school. Taking your girlfriend on a date to Six Flags for your 3rd month anniversary will show her you have changed, and you’re willing to remember the little things that are important to her. You’re doing things to prove a point to someone, without saying one word. Symbolic speech in America, is pretty much the same thing. People want to prove a point without saying anything
