Perhaps a deeper look in the world around us reveals something different. Are we losing out on the core value Integrity in the drive towards achievement? Is integrity given a go by? Is lack of integrity more a topic for an intellectual discussion in drawing rooms? Can the cause purpose and value be practised? Does having a sense of integrity. wrongly show a lack of ambition?
The questions are many more, but the underlying concern is the same.
But what is Integrity? Is it simply honesty-both commercial honesty and intellectual honesty? Integrity perhaps even defies description. I read somewhere a very fine way of looking at integrity … “a fine unison of thought ,word and deed.”
Integrity is not easy. The unison of thoughts, word and deed calls for a higher sense of purpose, confidence in own self without being arrogant, a willingness to sacrifice immediate or intermediate benefits while in pursuit of a goal, a sense of oneness to stronger and meaningful values………
Today we talk of lack of integrity at the political level: perhaps we need to re-examine the question of integrity at every individual level.
I cannot change the world, but am I being true to myself, am I being true to the cause and purpose, do I have an approval to talk of integrity looking into my own eyers in front of the mirror.
Until next,
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
