we are what we do



"they are liers"

What we do in our daily lives signify who we really are. They determine whether you are a good person or a bad one. If you lie, you are a liar, if you rape people, you are a rapist and if accept bribes you are corrupt that’s it. For example Jackie Selebi was a commissioner of police; he was responsible for the security of the state. Concurrently he was doing dirty staff underneath, eventually he was caught and tried in the court of law and was found guilty thus proved that the man was corrupt. Fate says he was what he did.

Sometimes people do things because of their personality behaviors and attitudes. They return a lost phone because they are honest; they recycle their waste because they care about the environment. However, some return a lost phone because they want to be perceived differently or to build their image. At times people do things they don’t want to do. Some give out money to the poor and that does not mean that they are generous but they are hiding their evil deeds.

There is a Greek saying that says “nothing is hidden under the shadow of the sun” which means whatever is done in secrete or we think we do in secrete would come out to be revealed in public for other eyes to witness what we really are. Then when the truth comes out it will tell that we are what we do.
