Integrity and trustworthiness are synonymous terms. In a world of mistrust, society is reaching out for a stabilizing influence, without which meaningful transactions cannot take place.
A person of integrity does not shift principles to accomodate changing mores. Fixed principles to not change. They remain the same in every situation. Honesty, coupled with simple wisdom can confound the pitiful acts of a selfish, deceitful person.
Within the recesses of our consiousness, there is an innate awareness of the difference between honesty and deceit. This is why the man or woman of integrity is trusted and held in high esteem.
The person of integrity walks the high road, not the path of thoughtless deception.
