Practice What You Preach

[1974Mustang]

I was on the phone with a longtime friend of mine the other day.

This friend of mine is a good lady who always going the extra mile to help everyone.

Her ex-husband on the other hand isn't so great of a guy. The divorce itself could not have been for a better reason but I won't share her story without her permission.

Going back to it, she called me in disbelief that despite everything he did to her and even several other women he's married and divorced since then, the guy spends his days posting words of advice and wisdom on Facebook and other social media.

He gets likes and people cheering him on but they're not aware of how bad he's been to others.

It got me thinking that there must be so many people out there like this, trying to make themselves look great. Being artificial.

I don't consider myself a bucket of wisdom but if I had to say anything from what I've learned over the years, I'd say that if you see someone posting stories about how good of a family man they are, they definitely aren't.

Practice what you preach.

I'm happy with this yeah

I make myself out online to be the fella I'm trying to be

Can only imagine how many people are the same, or how high a percentage of that number of people are snakes

That's why I'm hooked, there's a load of us trying to sort ourselves out and that's a banging environment, but we all see the scum

Seen a guy talking about scamming kids being equal to black hat SEO the other day, then he goes on to double back and say scamming and tricking aren't the same bucket of fish

Kids he's saying

I believe there are two worlds: the real world and the internet world, and most people show different sides of themselves in each. In real life, I am more of an introvert and a serious person, but online, I can be talkative, expressive, and even entertaining.

The key is to keep both versions of yourself balanced. Do not lose who you are offline just to fit in online. Both worlds matter, and being genuine in each can really make a difference.

Bro I see people like that all the time on forums like this one and FB. People eat that shit up all the time it’s crazy.

Gotta call it out when you see it. If I saw someone doing that here then that’s what I would do.

I think I have an image of myself on social media and online forums. It's not dishonest, but it's not exactly I am in real life. It's more like how I aspire to be, or a roll model for myself.

Hard to put it in words, really.

Well Divorce is word that shattered you anytime when you recall in your life once you gone through this.
2 faces people always harm for you.. they are something else in front of you and different in back to you for others. I always thinking about how people take 2 faces with them and tell everyone how down to earth they are and they aren't. Isn't their soul not hurt while doing this?
Till i don't know how the people are with me in front or back i always share my things with them once i got to know i stop everything with them except formality relationship.. Some relations you can't break, so better don't talk with them except asking how they are?
