There are many virtues but none other is as noble as integrity. On integrity life's case rests or falls.

Integrity towers over all other moral values, including character,
reputation, love, truth, competence, punctuality and trust.
It is the umbrella thet covers other positive human qualities
while transcending them and the plumbline by which other
qualities are guaged and a person is measured existentially and ultimately.
Integrity exists when there is a harmonious blending of the human and divine in the yin and yang complementation.
A lack of integrity produces destructiveness, choas,
exploitation, greed, hegemony and other crimes great and small.
When integrity is lacking nothing else is enough.
One way I keep integrity in the forefront of my mind's eye
is to think on each letter in integrity in this affirmation:
I
naturally
trust
eternal
grace
resonating
intuitively
truth's
yield.
Integrity is so noble that if God could let go of integrity I would let go of God and hold to integrity.
