Valuable lesson: building integrity
in-teg’ri-ty n. 1. honesty, sincerity 2. wholeness
The word ‘integrity’ was the most popular word searched in the Merriam-Webster On-line Dictionary in 2005. The definition given is: “firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values.” A person of integrity describes one who is unwilling to be bribed or morally corrupt. Why do you think ‘integrity’ was on the top of the list? Could it be because ‘integrity’ is so lacking that many do not know what it looks like in someone’s life?
