The Deed

Psychologist Donald Joy warns of the danger of attempts to "trivialize issues of reciprocity and restitution and expiation for making wrongs right.  This frequently leads to a Gospel of Whoopee! by which the idea is 'Do whatever feels good because you can be forgiven by just saying words in a ritual prayer'."   How does this apply to us? Words are important but deeds speak more powerfully.
