Integrity

Hmm..this one is a bit tricky...

Some people say, you must go with the flow if you want to be accepted in the group or community that you are in. They say that it's a must in today's world. If you want to be friends with a snake , you must eat, sleep, think and sxxx like a snake. You can't just wear a snake's skin and pretend that you are one.

However, if you do all that, will you be able to keep to your true self? Won't something inside you change too? Won't the habits and thinking of the snake sticks to you?

Cannot remember who says it but..there's a quote that goes like this:

You cannot play with the animal in you without becoming wholly animal.
You cannot play with falsehood without forfeiting your right to the truth.
You cannot play with cruelty without losing your sensitivity of mind.
He who wants to keep his garden tidy, doesn't reserve a plot for weeds.

Integrity..a simple word to pronounce, but a harder thing to act on it..

To do it ..or not to do it. That is the question.

Hmm....
