Orator - Morally Good?


I don’t believe that to be an orator and individual has to be morally good.  I hope that they are but this is not always the case.  I believe in laws of karma, and to live your life doing unto others.  Most public speakers deliver a speech with all of the things the audience wants to hear, even if they cannot deliver.  Most presidential candidates promise lower taxes, better healthcare, etc. just to win your vote.  It’s not just what you say, but how you deliver it.  It’s about making a connection with the audience.  I think the audience wants to hear goodness and truth from the orator, they want something/someone they can believe in and that gives them hope.  Whether it be a presidential candidate or the pastor of your church, each individual person takes something different away from the speech.  More often or not it is what they can relate to in their everyday life and inspires them to create change for the better in their lives.

  1. I feel like its always the situation of you hope they are morally good but its not always the case. They can be an amazing teacher, preacher, communicator, but they don't always have to follow what they say. They can just be intelligent people with great mind set, beliefs, and education. I thought of the same comparison when it came to the presidents, them always saying things and they never happen, common occurrence. I am starting to notice great presenters are people who not necessarily always have good morals but just man of their word, stick to what they say.
