Say A, mean B and do C

Last week, I played a game of nodding when you mean "No" and moving your head from side to side when you mean "Yes". It was hard. It was hard because it is not easy to not mean what you say. However, I realised that as I played the game over 3 consecutive days, I got better and better - better and better not meaning what I say?

The sad truth is, we can train our hearts and minds for better or for worst.

It is not difficult at all to find examples of even shining individuals who say A but mean B and do C. What a disappointment each time when it happens!

It reminds me of the phrase "Do as I say and not do as I do".

Can we will this for ourselves that we do not go down this path?
