distance_of_time_in_words from created_at

I'm using distance_of_time_in_words with rails 4 on created_at attribute but it doesn't works

in my view: 

<% @posts.each do |post| %>
....
<td><%= distance_of_time_in_words(post.created_at,  post.created_at + 30.days)   %></td>

it show always:

about 1 month

If I use time_ago_in_words it works

let's say post.created_at is sept 01. 

sept 1,  sept 1 + 30 days

is about one month. If you always have post.created_at, post.created_at + 30.days then it's always going to return about one month because that's the amount of time you're giving it.
