The Essence of Personal Integrity: What is personal integrity and why is there not more? | JDMessinger
I started a discussion forum in my fan club on LinkedIn, Power of Essence with JD Messinger, to start a discussion on the essence of cadinal virtues and values and why there seems to be such a decline in society. See Power of Essence forum by clicking here.
One of the members asked this question, "Personal Integrity - why is it not valued more in our culture?"
Let me take a stab at providing my thoughts. I encourage everyone to share theirs!
Integrity is defined by Encarta World Dictionary as follows:
possession of firm principles: the quality of possessing and steadfastly adhering to high moral principles or professional standards
completeness: the state of being complete or undivided ( formal ) "the territorial integrity of the nation"
wholeness: the state of being sound or undamaged ( formal )"public confidence in the integrity of the voting process"
Those are interesting but not extremely practical. Here is my definition:
"Personal integrity is very simply when a person says what they mean, means what they say, and does what they say they will do."

Part II: If Matter is Not Solid, Why Don't We Fall Through the Floor? | JDMessinger
Part II: If Matter is Not Solid, Why Don't We Fall Through the Floor? | JDMessinger
About a year ago I wrote a blog entitled ‘Matter is not solid, time is not linear and death is not the end’ and I find it amazing that this short blog is the single most popular item on my site. Despite a few hundred radio interviews from global experts and several hundred articles and blogs, the only item that gets more hits is my homepage. It must be striking a cord because it doesn’t matter what state or country, and therefore I presume, of universal interest regardless of political, religious, cultural or ethnic origins.
