This topic really captures my attention, “A
person’s strength lies in his/her integrity”. In my mind, integrity means
staying true to values. It means being honest and trustworthy always. An
example can be doing the exact same if someone is watching or when nobody is
watching. Such integrity determines how much of a fair and true person you are.
Integrity is necessary between family, friends, and us.
Integrity within family means standing up for actions; this
is important in all relationships but most important within families. For
example, if I dropped food on my couch that created a stain and I blamed it on
my brother. At first my parents would be mad at my brother but, then they found
out that I did it, they would be extremely disappointed with me for a couple
reasons, firstly that I had dropped food on the couch, and secondly that I had been
untruthful and blamed it on my brother. From there on, my parents would not
trust me as much as they did before. Trust in your family is like glass bangles
once you break them you can’t repair it or get it back to its original form.
Integrity within friends means telling the truth always and
keeping promises. If someone follows this it will only make your friendship
grow. Telling the truth even when hurts, will actually benefit one’s friendship
in the long run. When one let friends take blame for something you did, the
friend will not like that person as much as he/she did before because the
friend knows that, that person isn’t responsible for your own actions. Showing
integrity between friends is also keeping promises and going incredible lengths
to keeping the promise. The friendships will build once integrity is shown.
Integrity also builds character of a person. With the
quality of integrity, others will feel better about a certain person because
they will trust that person more. It
means that one will have a better relationship. God and guru will give more
blessings. Without integrity, people will start ignoring one and they will
think of one as an awful person and God and guru won’t give many blessings
because there are no qualities within their heart.
To conclude, integrity means doing the right thing in a
reliable way. Altogether integrity builds strong character within the heart.
Integrity includes standing up for your own actions, not blaming others,
telling the truth, and keeping promises all this will lead to more blessings.
Most values revolve around integrity such as honesty, responsibility, patience,
accountability, and care and above all devotion and love for God.
