I feel kinda egotistical saying this, but ye...ahem. I feel kinda egotistical saying this, but yes, I do think that integrity is one of my most important personality traits.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, there are plenty of other positive traits that I have a ways to go on (and it's a little off-topic to list them here) but integrity is one of the ones that's important to me.<BR/><BR/>I see integrity as something along the lines of old-fashioned honor or chivalry. Doing 'what you think is right'. Which doesn't necessarily mean following every single unimportant rule either, just consistent adherence to your personal code.<BR/><BR/>It is a little outdated, of an ideal, but that's what makes your story so sweet.<BR/><BR/>I agree that it would be difficult to define yourself as not having integrity. It's not too hard to recognize that you have some trouble with, for instance, forgiveness, but believing that you do things you know are wrong, just for the heck of it (or because they're easier, more fun, &c.)... Most people would rationalize their way out of that pretty fast.<BR/><BR/>An interesting topic.<BR/><BR/>-Cellipsisknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639952394063835137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22936647.post-82106099430994146792007-06-07T11:05:00.000-07:002007-06-07T11:05:00.000-07:00you know, my highschool mathbook was called: Integ...you know, my highschool mathbook was called: Integrated Mathmatics. I always wondered what they meant by that so one day i asked my math teacher and he said it came from the word integrity..hmmm. As meaning 'whole or complete'. So now when i think of integrity it reminds me of being whole, having and keeping every good quality. Just a thought. <BR/>bethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22936647.post-48627220191511491782007-06-07T05:29:00.000-07:002007-06-07T05:29:00.000-07:00Is 'Integral' the adjective?

I dont think so, but i'm gonna go with it.<BR/><BR/>I have to agree, I would never describe myself of having integrity, even though, if taken in the dictionary definition sense (adherence to moral and ethical principles), I suppose I do that. <BR/><BR/>I wouldnt agree with the antonym (dishonesty) I can be trusted (for the most part). Nor the synonyms(virtuous or honorable) Who DOES say that about themselves in this day and age? Really now. <BR/><BR/>I try and follow rules and do the right thing for the most part, but I dont die inside if I drive over the speed limit or walk on the grass. <BR/><BR/>Its a tricky one really, and this is a lot of thinking (and brackets) for a comment.Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935367494441449661noreply@blogger.com
