You can talk about global warming or about the energy crisis. You can talk about going to war, or talk to your kids about the dangers of smoking, but until you act – talk is cheap. Mother Teresa didn’t limit herself to talking about helping the sick and poor, she opened up shelters and started charities, she acted. Martin Luther not only made famous speeches about equality in America, but helped organizations start up in support of a better way of life. Of course great actions speak to all humankind, because once you act, the people have to face it. It is much harder to ignore a riot than to ignore a pamphlet. That is why great actions speak to all humankind, because whatever those actions are saying, we, the human race, have to face them.
