Considerate words and thoughts are excellent manners in which we express consideration, but they fall short in demonstrating true regard when compared to a genuine act of boldness. Ideas, words, and beliefs are all abstracts which have no immediate effect on our tangible world, but actions can move mountains. Actions can inspire others to follow a cause, create or destroy that around us, and convey humility to others in our presence. Thoughts are usually shared through words which are restricted by the barrier of language. Actions, however, have no barrier and can be transferred freely between all elasticities and cultures. Great actions are not reserved for great people, but are the work of a common person working to better our world. When an average person acts in ways to benefit society, nation, or humanity, they become as great as their actions. By performing great, humane, and respectful actions, one person is improving the world for those around oneself, near and far.
