The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles
The dictionary definition
Here is another one
Internal consistency or lack of corruption
For me
It means being true to a set of principles, a set of values or set of beliefs
What are my values or set of beliefs?
Its hard to pin down.
It really does depend on the situation
What one man classes as integrity another will class as disingenuous
It comes down to point of view
What a captor and a prisoner call integrity are two different things
Or a buyer and seller
So to go around and hold people up to different levels of integrity is naive
And to hold myself to a broad range of principles is also quite silly
But in terms of defining people who have integrity or not, it comes down to individuals perspectives and situations.
Its a matter of taste
And I if you refuse to do something because of integrity and loose from it then its your choice and you have to be happy with that choice
But you can’t go around and say i have higher integrity then that person
Because my freind
That the game
The game of life
