On Integrity
What is integrity?
As defined in Wikipedia: “Integrity is holding true to one’s values”, or it is the value of a man’s words. If one proclaims that one will do a certain action, one must follow up. To have integrity, then, seems to relate to honesty towards oneself-one does not lie to oneself-
If in the pursuit of self development, one realizes than one must change a behavior, if one hope to improve. It is then to one’s responsibility to do so, and change the behavior, not doing so, will mean that one has no consistency, and no integrity with one’s thoughts and awareness. Or, just that one has no confidence or faith on one’s philosophy.
To have integrity, one must do which one knows to be beneficial or good, and if not towards others, than, a priori towards oneself.
Integrity is given to development, for it is closely connected to Will. More one trains oneself to follow one’s commands, then one becomes curiously enough, more free.
So it appears that developing integrity is more beneficial to freedom, than some other option today in the balance.
