Actions and words

Why do people not understand that for many of us, myself included, all the pretty words in the world don't change the actions. I have been chastised often for walking the moral high ground, and for being judgmental, and I admit to those faults. One thing I always do though, is apologize when I am wrong and try my best to live my life doing the best I can everyday. Some days I fail miserably, others I don't, but I do try every single day. I don't care what people tell me, as a matter of fact, I am most apt to not believe them anyway, but I do know what I see, what people do, and how they act.
