“I can't believe what you say, because I see what you do.”

James Baldwin

People can say they believe in equality while supporting policies that create inequality. They can say they respect Black people while remaining silent about racism.

They can say they care about democracy while cheering attacks on voting rights. They can say they support justice while excusing injustice when it benefits them.

James Baldwin understood that actions reveal character far more honestly than words ever will. Language can be curated.

Public images can be manufactured. Statements can be rehearsed.

But behavior tells the truth. The quote is really about accountability.

Stop listening only to what people claim to stand for.

you're afraid of light kissing you in the darkness because then you'll betray nights to stay awake in the arms of mornings.

you feel cozy around the bad people more easily than you'll give a disciplined or goal oriented person in your dream because they dared to choose is the one you've been hiding through your whole life.

the negativity is directly eating dishes out of a plate, the whole positivity walks you through the process.

lethargic thoughts are communicable disease while work ethic is a rare disease where you keep working to get caught in that air.

darkness comforts your eyes while light keeps it struggling to settle upon.
