It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

It is better to practice a little than talk a lot.

When I read this one, first people that came to mind were our dear politicians. How I wish they would rather practice a little and not make all those “lip services”.
I have come to realise one thing, whether we like politics or not, they affect us. Our lives are ran by politicians, oh yes we would all like to believe that we make the ultimate decisions with regards to our lives. I have news for you, your life is run by a politicians. From the day a baby is born government (which by the way is a politician) wants to know the time, date, race and all the itty gritty stuff about you. So that is where it all starts, at some stage your education was decided for you.
What is amazing me in my adulthood is realising just how much they talk and talk and talk. At times I change channels because I get lost in their words, wondering where what they are talking about is. When do they implement what they so love talking about.  To make matter even worse, they become the most creative and poetic people around election time. We are about to take on to the voting poles for our local elections. Our television sets are decorated with ridiculous adverts; our poles of frilled pictures of whom we must vote for. Oh they’ve tapped into the social media sites, and yep we found their promises there as well.
Is it so difficult to talk less and practice more, what they say is good, but now we end up waiting for the implementation of what was loudly say, before we could cast our votes. Yes, yes we agree not all can be granted, but at least let us see what can be granted. It gets tiring see the vast difference is our education system. I can forgive the fact that social hierarchy will always be there but human dignity should never be compromised under any circumstances.
I would rather have politicians talk less and deliver bit by bit.
