living by your word

The word has such power, emphasized our priest during last
Sunday's mass, that it can build or destroy a person or affirm or
negate what he is or what he has done.

Another point he made was that we have to be true to our
words or tapat sa ating mga salita, in Filipino. TAPAT (loyal), even
when spelled backwards, is still TAPAT.

He pointed out that great men are not only known for their
great words but how they have lived and stood by these words. In
short, words not backed by deeds are nothing.

I wonder how many politicians are truly great :) For that
matter, how many of us stand by our words? Do I? :)
