Integrity..?

Here is sometihng I wrote on Integrity awhile abck.. and I just found it.

"Integrity is a state or quality of being complete, undivided, or unbroken. It is wholeness and inimpaired. It is purity and moral soundness. t is unadulturated henuineness and deep serenity. It is courage, a human virtue of incapable value. It is honesty and uprightness.

Integrity in individuals or corporate bodies is not to ask, "what will others think of me, and my practices?" but, "what do I think of myself if I do this or fail to do that?" Is it proper? Is it right?

Integrity in man Should bring Inner peace, sureness of purpose, and security in action. Lack of it brings the reverse, disunity, fear, surrow, unsureness."

Reading that again just made me think.. as I often do.

I think some of us need to take some kind of personal inventory to see if hidden away under the rugs and in the corners of our lives there might be some vestige of hypocracy and uglyness of error. Or could there be hidden under the blankets of personal excuse and rationalization some small eccentricities and dishonesties? Are there cobwebs in ceilings and corners which we think will not be noticed? Are we trying to cover up the small pettinesses and the small gratifications we secretly allow ourselves rationalizing the while that they are insignificant and unconsequential? Are there areas in our thoughts and actions and attitudes which we would like to hide from those we respect most?

Again... something to chew... I need to get out of this house and stop getting philosophical on you.
