On Integrity Why do you respect the people you respect? Because they have been consistent in showing strong moral principles and have held on tight to their honesty. With the slow degradation of those principles, one's respect for them diminishes. Then how do you, as a person, establish trustworthiness? According to Marcus Aurelius, father of stoicism, you should "never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect." Hence, you need to stand your ground, and establish a set of principles that you stick to. Be just to those around you and always be seeking wisdom. Even big time criminals, who have committed horrendous crimes, have principles on certain matters. Because, at the end of the day, principles are what makes us human. @noordievdev
