Yes!
It’s visual and displayed to anyone watching & absorbing what they see.
Why?
Because our choices turn into actions or we abstain from things e.g. not eating meat, not swearing, expressing our thoughts without getting personal, showing we disapprove of a conversation by leaving the room etc.
These choices reflect our philosophies better than words do.
It’s better to walk the talk than simply talk the talk. Words are meaningless if our choices do not reflect them.
