What Virtue Are You Signalling?

* Short Clip from my YouTube video titled “The Rabbit Hole of Virtue Signalling” – Full Link HERE

Simply by existing in this world, you are signalling your virtue. Meaning by how you live your life – you are providing an example to others, and encouraging other people to model your behaviors. If you are a parent that watches tv constantly around your child, you are signalling the virtue of prioritizing TV watching over XYZ to your child. If you are rude to a bus driver or a random person you meet, you are signalling negativity to the people & energies around you. Therefore, one does not have to be intentionally and obviously taking a stance to be virtue signalling. 

This is counter to many people’s ideas of virtue signalling, which they define as someone speaking a particular opinion to appear in a positive light. Yes, that is virtue signalling of course, but just one version. The ultimate version of virtue signalling is one’s behavior to the world. Understanding that fact is empowering to an individual because everyone truly has influence – to the world, people, and one’s self. So, think deep about what virtues you have & how specifically you are signalling the virtues to the world. Don’t fight the idea of you virtue signalling, but embrace it & take it upon yourself to ensure the virtues you’re signalling are authentic to you.
