Speech and Action

Speech and action never go together in our part of the universe. If they do man will attain divinity or the line between the divine and human will be blurred then.

They are connected, and if I am speaking right, then it is right action to speak, but if I speak wrong, then I shouldn't speak.

Is it an action to not speak? Is it action to not act? I have always thought that living was action, breathing was action, so that we cannot escape action. But it's easy to escape speech, we do that all the time.

Speech and action are tied together, since to move my mouth is to speak, and it is also an action. When I should, it's a bigger action, and waving my arms around is certainly an action. Speech is always action; action is not always speech.

I assume that your opinion that speech and action are inextricably linked is genuine.Of course we cannot escape action,when we talk we need energy,and that is action.We inevitably do actions everyday,and speech also indispensable.Muted people cannot talk,but using their actions to communicate.

Thereby,I conclude that action is speech,while speech is action.Conceive of this-when people do an action,it represents something,and your mind will tell you.The brain messages are speech,aren't they?Precisely,it is.

There is connection but one is not the other in any way.
